About Abhishek Saxena

I started in the era before UX had rules — when digital was still figuring itself out, flash websites were a career, and the only metric that mattered was whether people came back.

That wired me differently. I think in systems. I measure in outcomes. I've led design at a telecom giant, shipped features for 400M+ Excel users, and built two products from zero — one hit 50K downloads, one hit ₹60L in revenue at 75% gross margins.

ThinkPlanty closed profitable. Three years, ₹60L in revenue, 75% gross margins. The next stage needed capital I chose not to raise — I made the call to take those learnings to Microsoft instead.

I'm a design generalist. That's not a hedge — it's a deliberate choice. The best design decisions I've made came from knowing just enough about business strategy, product thinking, data, and engineering to ask the right questions before picking up Figma.

How can I help

I work best when the problem is hard, the stakes are real, and someone needs to bridge the gap between what users need and what the business is trying to build.

Whether that's defining a design system from scratch, leading a team through a zero-to-one product, redesigning a broken experience for 100M users, or embedding AI into a workflow that people actually use — I've done it. More than once. At different scales.

If you need hands-on craft, I can do that. If you need someone to run a design function, set strategy, hire, and report to leadership — I can do that too. That range is the point.
