What are the good companies to consider and/or strong design leaders to look up to in India?

I am considering a move from US end of this year/next if I find a fit. I am not comfortable sharing my move reasons - requesting to please comment focussing on the question :)

  • Avoid all the celebrated Indian startups...
    the ones that are tagged as - "great Indian startups to work, for designers.."

    A bunch of unqualified, half baked, self taught idiots are running the show. They are just a useless cult of Figma experts who have no foundations in HCI.

    These "designer" folks in these startups are the ones:
    1. still fighting the pointless UI vs UX conundrum
    2. exhibiting woke stupidity against "design education'' (they think design degrees don't matter)
    3. spending most of their time mastering 'software tools' while they know zilch about the craft
    4. sitting on mount stupid of the Dunning Kruger curve
    4. conducting cohort based UX Courses for 499 INR, again teaching 'tools'
    5. giving half baked UX gyaan on YouTube
    6. actively doing BS on twitter and all the 'design community' BS

    Add up all the points above, you don't want to be working with these specimens.

    If you are looking for some solid product work, grounded in core HCI practices and product development, the Indian startups are not the place.

    • @SR61 You just summed up the entire indian design community lol. Especially cred designers. Most "design leaders" in India are just a bunch of pretentious designers who feel they are super knowledgeable and at the end of the day judge you for your visual design lol. The more "famous" a designer is the more garbage he/she is going to be. I suggest not coming to India, we are way behind in terms of design maturity. I myself am planning to make a move to the states.
