What people say

I worked closely with Adesh at Loco, where he led design. The thing that always stood out to me was his design sense. He had a really good eye for UI/UX and genuinely cared about getting the experience right for users. He wasn't the type to settle for good enough, he'd keep pushing on a flow until it actually felt right. He was also very hands-on. He could jump in and execute detailed design work himself, and he got his team to deliver to the same standard. His capability as a designer was never in doubt, and a lot of Loco's product experience reflects that. Enjoyed working with him and happy to recommend him to any team that values strong design craft.

I've been fortunate to work with Adesh for the past few years, and when I look back at my journey, I genuinely don't think I could've asked for a better manager or mentor. What has always stood out about Adesh is the kind of leader he chooses to be. He never leads from a distance. He leads by showing up. Whether it was navigating ambiguity, making difficult product decisions, or working through high-pressure launches, Adesh was always right there with the team. During some of our toughest moments, when deadlines felt impossible and the pressure was at its peak, he didn't just delegate work or expect the team to figure it out. He sat alongside us, brainstormed solutions, rolled up his sleeves, and worked with us until we had delivered. That willingness to share the weight of the challenge is something I'll always respect. One thing that has always stood out to me is how calm and thoughtful he is, even in the middle of ambiguity or tight deadlines. He has a way of simplifying complex problems, asking the right questions instead of having all the answers, and helping the team move forward with clarity. His feedback has never felt like criticism, it has always felt like an investment in helping you become better. He has an incredible ability to balance product vision, user needs, business priorities, and technical constraints without losing sight of what truly matters. More importantly, he trusts people. He gives you the ownership to make decisions, encourages healthy debate, and creates a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas. Personally, I owe a big part of my growth to Adesh. He pushed me to think beyond the obvious, trusted me with ownership, and gave me the confidence to make decisions with conviction. The lessons I learned from working with him go far beyond design, they've shaped how I solve problems, collaborate with others, and aspire to lead. More than building great products, Adesh builds people. I'm incredibly grateful for everything I've learned from Adesh and would recommend him without hesitation. Any team would be fortunate to have a leader who not only builds great products but also brings out the best in the people building them.
