Rahul Deshpande

Rahul Deshpande

I am a multidisciplinary design professional with around 15 years of experience. I began my career as a Product Designer (PGDPD NID 2007-10) and have worked with corporates like Wipro, focusing on office furniture, FMCG packaging design, ergonomic seating design, and product management. Since 2021, I have transitioned into the role of a digital product designer and experience strategist. Currently, I am a Principal Experience Strategist at LTIMindtree.
Throughout my career, I have built upon the strength of empathy and explored the potential of design thinking for social design, particularly for villages. I am associated with the Nabhangan Foundation as a Design Thinking Advisor, working on projects for village development, schools, libraries, and play areas, as well as vision-mission pitches.
Since 2023, I have been conducting community-building experiments and am in the process of forming the 'Thinker's Collaborative.' This initiative aims to bridge the gap in social innovation and connect design thinking collaborators. My ultimate goal is to identify leverage points in our world that need to be addressed for a larger impact and a better future.
