Kshipra Joshi

With over 15 years of professional experience, I am a Product Designer dedicated to building solutions founded on human behavior, rigorous research, and practical user requirements. Having served as an early contributor to InMobi and India’s pioneering Android smartphone projects, my background encompasses fintech, consumer products, mobile platforms, and enterprise architecture. Beyond traditional design roles, I dedicated a decade to an independent longitudinal study on neurodivergent development, gaining specialized expertise in accessibility, cognition, and behavioral research. I am currently directing product design for an early-stage fintech startup, where I oversee the entire lifecycle from initial discovery and MVP through to launch and subsequent growth.
