No. 01Publicis Sapient · On: Colleague

Amit to me is a weapon of last resort. The tenacity he shows in his work is impressive. I can always count on him when the team is stuck or confused. His analytical thinking makes him quick at decoding anything complex.
Pramod BabbarjungExperience Lead, UX · Publicis Sapient

No. 02Global automotive OEM · On: Accessible on every brand, every release

We had some challenges over the years, with previously too much change and lack of continuity in UX/UI – this has stabilised and I have much more confidence now in our current Design team… an amazing attention to detail but also a consideration for the bigger picture, leading to high quality outcomes.
Product PartnerRetain Journey · Global automotive OEM

No. 03Publicis Sapient · On: A marketing OS, from a blank page

The UX ideas and wireframes presented triggered multiple thought processes, sometimes even changing the direction of the client's thinking. Despite a convulsive route, he and his team presented a compelling solution that ended with approval from the group CEO for the MVP.
Nikhil LamaAssociate Creative Director, Design · Publicis Sapient

No. 04Global automotive OEM · On: One configurator, many markets

I appreciate our collaboration and how you leverage your product insights and research to influence design proposals. Your strong commitment to delivery dates is particularly noteworthy… I'm also impressed by your proactiveness and thinking outside the box.
Product OwnerBuild to Order Journey · Global automotive OEM

No. 05Publicis Sapient · On: Quoting at Fortune-20 scale

He takes complete ownership and doesn't do things halfway. The leads on any project are comfortable with putting Amit in front of the client, because he does his research, takes his time in coming up with his viewpoints and hence can defend his designs.

Apart from design, Amit has a strong understanding of requirements, and the proposed solution is well thought through before he proposes it. He has always asked the right questions to get a deeper understanding.
