Thoughts on design leadership – UxNow talk

Late last year, Aakash Kumar (Head of Design, MakeMyTrip & Goibibo) and I spoke about bringing more leadership perspectives to the fore through the design conference. I’ve grown to become quite fond of how organically UxNow is organized every year, and it’s become my excuse to visit friends in Delhi. Crispy cold days and chilly evenings, the setup is perfect for the couple of days of warm conversations.

This 2025, I collated some of the most interesting and unconventional things I picked up from my recent leadership stint. Here are the slides if you missed the talk. They should be fairly straightforward to go through on their own.

If you have any perspectives to share, do email me on me@hvpandya.com. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
