DESIGN STRATEGY

Shribalkrishna Patil

Business Designer
Innovation + Product Development Strategist

Since 2002

I am an optimistically pragmatic collaborator with 3 masters in technology, business and human space along with 10+ years of experience in applying design thinking in diverse domains.

Helping entrepreneur’s, startups and organizations transform their nebulous ideas into breakthrough innovative businesses, products, experiences and brands is what inspires me.

I am a multifunctional hybrid thinker with deep knowledge and experience of transforming insights grounded at intersection of technology, business and human psychology into innovative strategies and offerings that eventually lead to revenue growth.

It is the fuzzy front-end of business, product, experience and brand development that excites me, and it’s in the refinement of these ideas into tangible futures that drives me to bring them to market. The desire to bring comprehensiveness (in assistance I offer) and the keen interest in design has energized me to transverse from engineering to the ambiguous front end of business/product/experience development.

Through these pursuits I have had the opportunity have acquired unique experience of working at every stage of innovation/incubation process through multifarious projects in diverse domains
