What people says

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for Rishi for his invaluable contribution to UX modernization exercise and the way he has juggled multiple requirements spread across multiple areas in Elements Desktop and Elements Web. In a day, I have seen him attending multiple diverse feature meetings in which he needs to quickly switch context and share XD spec or his views on a particular workflow. Apart from the feature meetings, he is working closely with product managers, quality and dev engineerings looking at the UI apart from UX review meetings he would be having with you, while finding time to work on the requirements and come up with design solutions. He is a very patient listener and I appreciate the quality feedback he brings to the team meetings. He also shared great feedback for the questions for survey. I appreciate the fact that he was innovative in coming up with a structure around XD delivery of components and classification in lieu of exhaustive manual approach. He is open to feedback and I admire the way he has been helping the team w.r.t to the hugely impactful UX modernization feature in this cycle.

Rishi is a hardworking and dedicated team member who consistently ensures that deadlines are met. He is open to feedback and takes input constructively, using it to enhance his work. Recently, Rishi has started to express his viewpoints with greater confidence, contributing valuable insights to the team.

Rishi is someone we rely on heavily, and I can’t recall a single instance where he hasn’t delivered on time. His sincerity and eagerness to learn are truly commendable. Like everyone, Rishi has strengths and areas for growth. Recently, he has focused on improving his ability to drive initiatives from a design perspective and prioritize customer interests over other inputs. This perspective and behavior shift has led to good-spirited discussions, but we all recognize that Rishi's intentions are in the right place, and we greatly value his contributions.

Vikas Sharma - Sr. Product Manager

Over the past year, I had the opportunity to work directly with Rishi as a Product Manager on projects including the Jarvis chatbot, Open from Mobile, and IPN. I was consistently impressed by his ability to grasp the objectives of each feature and offer UX and UI recommendations that effectively supported our goals. I particularly value Rishi’s approach to understanding requirements, contributing thoughtful insights, and crafting experiences that require minimal revisions in later stages. He is also proactive in sharing his perspectives, always aiming to enhance the user experience.

Additionally, I appreciate how Rishi references other internal products to strengthen his concepts, which adds depth and relevance to his recommendations.

You have been a great collaborator even when the work is overwhelming and challenging, it helps to have you onboard on things that are critical.

Vipin Gupta - Product Manager

Your ability to engage and manage multiple aspects of the product—including PSE, Web, home screen, and overall Elements—is commendable. It’s no small feat to handle so many features at once, and your dedication to each component makes a meaningful difference. You are highly regarded by the team and have become an essential contributor to the success of Elements, adding significant value to our work together.

Collaboration with you is seamless, and your approachable nature creates a comfortable environment for the team. Everyone feels at ease working alongside you, which fosters a strong, productive team dynamic. Additionally, your flexibility in adapting ideas and proposals based on technical constraints is impressive. You don’t just adjust when needed—you’re quick to propose alternative solutions, which keeps our projects moving forward smoothly.

Chetan Patel - Sr. Engineering Manager

Rishi provides good inputs for design of Elements web features. He is open to feedbacks from the team and quick to iterate based on that which I appreciate a lot. Given, a new platform for Elements, we need to be agile in terms of execution and iterate if needed. There, Rishi has been helpful with his inputs on multiple planned features and JDI items team does from time to time. He aligns with the dev team where we want to save bandwidth and provides suggestions pro actively based on that constraint which we can scale from dev end efficiently.

His openness to suggestions, working with team within the constraints, providing alternatives pro-actively, helps a lot to progress as a team in agile way.

Manik Singhal - Sr. Engineering Manager

You consistently bring fresh and innovative ideas to the table, enhancing the overall design quality, demonstrating a strong understanding of Elements user needs and incorporating user feedback effectively into designs. You also pay close attention to the finer details, ensuring that the design is polished and professional. On the collaboration front, you work well with other team members, including developers/QE and product managers, to ensure a cohesive final product.

Saurabh Gupta - Sr. Manager, QE

I genuinely appreciate the responsiveness and dedication you bring to our work. Your extensive experience with the application clearly shows in the way you advocate for both the product and the user experience. Your proactive approach—especially in raising concerns when things don’t seem right, like with the combine photos feature—ensures we maintain the quality and user-centric focus we aim for. This attention to detail significantly enhances the overall product, and it’s evident that you care deeply about its success. Thank you for always putting the product first. Thank you again for the passion and experience you bring to the team; it’s been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to more collaboration ahead.

As we work from different locations, collaboration is key to making everything run smoothly, and you're doing a great job at it. This really helps with timely delivery. Your openness to suggestions gives us the freedom to think from a design perspective. Alway loves to meet and interact with you in person in Noida.

Harsh Agarwal

You always try to improve user experience, share insightful thoughts in meetings for various user experience dimension which also prompt other to discuss UI related items.

Shiv Saini

It has been great to collaborate with you on both Elements Web and Desktop Products. Apart from the UI specs, you have been very prompt in delivering any adhoc design requirements like icons, content etc. You are a dependable team member and always reachable over slack, teams etc, for any sort of queries.

Somya Agarwal

Rishi has been an excellent colleague and one of the most skilled designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. During our UI revamp project, he was consistently prompt in delivering designs without any compromise on quality. In times of high pressure, including last-minute requests for icons or screens, Rishi ensured timely delivery, often ahead of schedule.
Apart from UI modernisation, even on other features, he’d always come up with 2-3 design options which gave the team the flexibility of making more informed decisions regarding product design.
