Shreyansh Sunil, was my direct report @ Jio

Working with Saikat Roy has been a defining experience in my career. From day one, he invested in my growth—not just as a designer, but as a well-rounded professional. His patience and encouragement during my learning phase pushed me to consistently strive for excellence.

Saikat leads by example. He blends deep design expertise with a structured, business-driven mindset—always aligning creative work with strategic outcomes. His farsighted approach ensures design delivers real, lasting impact.

A standout example of his leadership is his work on building the design system for Jio—a large-scale high-impact initiative that showcases his ability to think at scale, define structure, and elevate the design culture across the organization.

Under his guidance, I’ve grown immensely in both skill and mindset. It’s been a privilege to learn from him.
