Hello! I'm Manali Bapat, a Product Designer, currently working at Mindtickle, designing the future of Asset Hub. My journey in product design has been an exhilarating ride, fueled by curiosity and a passion for creating things.

🚀 Experience: My journey till now has taken me through different teams and organizations, with a comprehensive experience of 3+ years, allowing me to gain valuable insights into B2B Product Design, User Research, Design Systems and Visual Design.
Currently, I'm making waves as a Product Designer at Mindtickle. Here, I've spearheaded impactful revamp projects, breathing new life into Manager Reports and enhancing user experience across the board. I delved into various design directions, creating screen mockups that breathed life into page widgets and conducting in-depth comparative analyses. My collaborative spirit shines as I work closely with cross-functional teams, weaving together innovative solutions that resonate with our users. At the recent Data Carnival Hackathon, I served as a Product Desig SME, translating conceptual visions into compelling designs.
During my stint as a Product Design Intern at Tekion Corp, I played a pivotal role in crafting a comprehensive design system for iPadOS, seamlessly integrating user feedback to deliver an immersive application experience. During my previous tenure at Maruti Suzuki, I got an exciting opportunity to work in a new domain and design for Car Interface. My active participation in the iterative design and user research helped me excel at these skills. Regular feedback and presentations with overseas teams enabled me to be a better presenter and communicator.

🎓 Education: Armed with a Master's in Design from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, I honed my skills in crafting immersive user experiences. My Bachelor's in Architecture from Savitribai Phule Pune University laid a solid foundation for my design journey, instilling in me a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling through design.

💼 Previous Endeavors: My design journey commenced during my Architecture studies (B. Arch), where my mentor exposed me to diverse design domains. Keen to delve deeper into design, I joined Design Consultants Architects LLP, leading projects ranging from Website and Social Media design to Product Design innovation. Collaborating closely with the founder imparted insights into crucial business elements such as team-building and leadership.

Let's connect! I'm open to networking and exploring potential collaborations. I am reachable at manalibapat01@gmail.com

I work at the intersection of technical output, visibility, and global opportunity.

My focus is simple: helping engineers, product professionals, and founders turn their work into assets that are seen, valued, and rewarded globally.

Over time, I’ve seen a recurring gap and observed how several brilliant technical works never translate into real-world leverage due to lack of positioning and distribution. My work addresses that gap.

Through GoLoko Diaries, I’ve supported professionals across different industries in transforming their projects, contributions, and ideas into proof-of-work that attracts international jobs, partnerships, and recognition.

My sessions are practical, perspective-shifting, and focused on helping builders move from visibility gaps to global relevance.

Ramsey Elkholy is a guitarist, producer, songwriter, and anthropologist who founded the indietronica collective Monotronic in 2016. He conceived the project as a communal platform where instruments interweave into a single expressive force. Rather than spotlighting individual virtuosity, he emphasizes shared intention and group chemistry, encouraging collaborators to shape each track with their own textures, instincts, and creative voice.

Elkholy’s parallel career in anthropology informs that philosophy. He earned a PhD and authored Being and Becoming: Embodiment and Experience Among the Orang Rimba of Sumatra, a study of rainforest foragers in Indonesia. His research explored how identity, environment, and daily practice intertwine. That perspective carries into his music, where rhythm and atmosphere reflect lived experience and collective awareness.

Travel has also played a defining role in his artistic development. After spending three years backpacking across Asia and beyond, studying Indian music in Calcutta, and completing two years of fieldwork in Sumatra, Ramsey Elkholy Monotronic developed a deep sensitivity to polyrhythm and texture. He has described the rainforest at night as a vast, layered symphony. Raised in New York and now based in Los Angeles, he works from a home garage studio.

Monotronic’s 2026 album Waiting for You represents a significant chapter in the collective’s growth. The record features acclaimed bassist Mohini Dey on Close Enough and legendary drummer Omar Hakim throughout the project. Several accompanying videos, including Looking Away and Everything Moves, premiered at number one on VEVO, expanding the band’s reach and visual identity.

The album blends indie rock, pop, and electronic elements into a cohesive, cinematic sound marked by reflective lyrics and polished production. Everything Moves unfolds in a high-energy escape room setting, while Kettle Song pairs dynamic choreography with striking imagery. Many of the songs were written during time spent in Tulum, where coastal landscapes shaped the album’s contemplative mood.

Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2019, Monotronic has earned praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone and Relix. A rotating roster of accomplished musicians has contributed to the project, many of whom have ties to major artists across genres. Singles including Kids of Summer and In Between have drawn a strong critical response, reinforcing Elkholy’s reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and immersive sound design.
