About Akar Sinha
As a passionate Product Design Leader with 9+ years of experience, I thrive at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy—crafting scalable user experiences that drive both business impact and customer satisfaction. Currently, I serve as Product Design Manager at Apollo 24|7, where I lead cross-functional design initiatives that shape India\'s leading digital healthcare ecosystem. From building robust design systems to leading AI-driven innovations like the Ask Apollo chatbot, my work empowers millions of users with intuitive, accessible, and meaningful healthcare experiences.My journey spans diverse industries—fintech, SaaS, gaming, healthcare, and enterprise tech—where I’ve consistently delivered product transformations that blend human-centered design with business goals. Whether scaling multi-product design systems, improving user retention through thoughtful UX, or translating complex workflows into elegant interfaces, I bring clarity and precision to every challenge.Previously, at Great Learning, I spearheaded the redesign of their mobile app and web platforms, directly influencing user engagement and lead conversions. My time at GetMega, Cognizant, and Zensar further honed my ability to balance design leadership with hands-on execution—delivering outcomes ranging from digital transformation for Fortune 500 clients to social gaming ecosystems that foster deep user engagement.Certified in HCI for AI Systems Design (Cambridge Academy, 2024), I am deeply invested in future-forward design. My work has earned accolades like the Stevie Gold Award, Global Innovation Challenge Winner, and multiple MarCom and Summit Awards, recognizing both creativity and impact.I believe design is not just about aesthetics—it’s a strategic lever for growth. My goal is to continue driving innovation at the intersection of AI, design systems, and product strategy in domains where design shapes the future—be it fintech, SaaS, or platform-driven ecosystems.
