Mannu Amrit

Big 🙏 & 💜 to everyone who joined in today 🙌 In case you missed attending live, the session was recorded and will be available online soon. Until then, here's the deck I used to assist my narrative: speakerdeck.com/mannuamrit/des…

I’m thrilled to announce we’ve raised $44M to build a new home for product design. Meet @noondesign. No workflow is more broken and fragmented in 2026 than the product designers’. The very same people who care most about building software don’t have software purpose built for them. @kushagrasinha7 and I have lived this problem first hand as designers ourselves. That’s why we built Noon. The first product design tool that works entirely on your product code, so you can design not only how a product looks, but also how it works. With AI at its core that works in seconds, not minutes. For the first time, you can create, iterate, build, test and ship. All in one canvas. No translations or roundtrips to the codebase and back. Comment “Get Noon” and we’ll get you on the list for early access.

Apply here with your portfolio if you’re interested: careers-apac-atlassian.icims.com/jobs/22024/lea…

⭐️ You have the grit and vision to own complex, end-to-end design projects from initial ambiguity to final polish.

✨ Hiring in India 🇮🇳 We're hiring a Lead Designer to come and lead AI-native experiences in our fastest growing Atlassian product portfolio: Jira Service Management. If you want to use AI products daily and break new ground on user experiences of tomorrow, read further 👇

@charmiekapoor @vatsalsinghal @deeppurpled Very similar experience - after three replacements in about 1.5 years, eventually gave up.

I gifted my father an Ultrahuman Ring for his retirement, and it’s been my worst purchase 😞💔 He's someone who loves staying active – has gymmed for 20 years, swims, plays badminton, does yoga, and cycles. I wanted to support a homegrown brand and even bought one for myself so we could track our fitness together. While I don’t like posting grievances publicly, this experience has been awful, and we've exhausted every option. In less than six months, the ring had charging problems, heating issues, stopped detecting sleep midway, drained battery randomly, and the app kept crashing and failing to sync. At one point, we were speaking to @UltrahumanHQ more than our own family. We tried everything. Resets, updates, replacements, escalations, and even reaching out to the founders, hoping it would finally work. I have stopped using mine completely, but being an Indian dad, my father is still trying because it was an expensive purchase. I’m okay letting the money go. I just feel sad that something meant to motivate him became such a letdown and stole time he was supposed to enjoy. And I doubt he will try new tech again after this.

@hvpandya Beautifully put 🙌

Age.

@charmiekapoor Solid reflection! Thank you for sharing ✨

🌁✍🏼 Design notes from the Bay Area Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the chance to spend time with designers inside the world’s leading AI companies. A few patterns from those conversations – ✨ Founding designers are joining earlier than ever. They’re often one of the first three hires, defining direction before a PM exists. Their compensation now matches engineering, and so does their influence. ✨ Designers who code are default. It’s no longer up for debate. Many companies now hire only those who can push code and prototype ideas that scale. Design that ships has become the benchmark. ✨ The way design is reviewed has flipped. Build > prototype > deck. Code is the clearest form of design. The closer you are to production, the greater your leverage. ✨ Interfaces are converging, and tools are scrambling to keep up. Voice, text, haptics and canvas are being designed as one continuous system. If you’re not designing across modes, you’re designing in the past. ✨ Adaptability is the hottest signal. The people rising fastest can switch tools, rethink systems, and rewrite workflows in no time. Every few months, the process resets. Each reset rewards agility over tenure. ✨ The hiring landscape is recalibrating. Pedigree, output, and velocity have become the new trifecta. Top teams are filtering for people shaped by high-pressure, high-taste environments. Rigor matters again. ✨ The Bay Area still faces a shortage of exceptional design talent. Studios and startups are assembling remote design teams, pulling in builders from everywhere. It’s a charged moment to be creating. It’s surreal to see how in small pockets, the next few years of experiences are already taking shape. Work meant to be out in 2028 is being tested today, and designers are at the center of it.

@Kenu73 Could you share the location? Been facing a lot of issues with the app off late - get stuck on OTP

Finally found a HP pay petrol pump in Gurgaon close to my residence that easily accepts HP pay 😅

@vfsglobalcare Applied for US visa via Dropbox for my son (VFS Delhi) over 40 days ago—still no update. We have upcoming travel - can someone please help with a status update? DMed the details to you

@DoBaniye What do you currently recommend for paying HDFC CC bills?

Gurgaon folks, please tell me where I can find actually good coffee!!! Not those fancy cafes or the usual ones like Third Wave or Blue Tokai. Just good coffee spots, please!

@greaterr_fool @dqn4861 Congratulations 🙌

It was never on my radar but I just signed my first contract for an anime project with a studio in Tokyo. And it couldn't have been a better first gig than working with @dqn4861, an absolute goat. Both, overwhelmed and grateful with all that life keeps throwing at me. Let's go.

@radhikagandhi @sama Such an incredible story! Do you intend to offer a rental / subscription model in India at some point or pre loved marketplace - to make it more affordable? Would love to give this a try for my two month old in India!

The Cradlewise story — an overnight success… 7 years in the making. From an idea to getting noticed by OpenAI’s CEO. Behind the tweet of @sama and the trust in Cradlewise for his most valuable creation, there is a journey that started with a dream to help babies and parents sleep better. 🍼 2018: Prototypes built — for our own kids. 🧳 2019: Moved to China for 9 months to build the first units. 🌍 2020: Started sales in SF Bay Area during the pandemic — moved with 2 kids, 4 bags, no medical insurance. 🚚 2021: Navigated global supply chain chaos and chip shortages. 🇻🇳 2022: Set up manufacturing in Vietnam because India was still recovering from COVID. 🇮🇳 2024: Built our own crib factory in India. Every crib is now manufactured in India!! 💡 2025: Launched in India 🎉. Over 30 million hours of baby sleep powered by Cradlewise. @narendramodi ji and @PiyushGoyal ji — We’re building a global, connected consumer hardware company ⚒️ powered by homegrown AI. Designed in India 🇮🇳 Made in India 🇮🇳 Built for the World 🌎 How can @startupindia @investindia @GoI_MeitY @DPIITGoI @sidbiofficial help scale this movement ? Let’s take Indian innovation to every nursery across the globe. #MakeinIndia #StartupIndia #D2C #Parenting #SleepTech #AI #hardware #DTC #consumer #deeptech @ajeetbharath

@hvpandya Wouldn’t categorize it as best, but Tata Neu / Neu pass has been pretty solid for the past year or so - especially for the Croma + Big Basket + 1mg recurring use cases. Still early days though..

What’s the best Loyalty product out of India? With airlines in the US, you always see folks being either a Delta guy, or AA or United. They seldom switch. Rare to see that in India. We keep hopping providers for price reasons. Vistara had loyalty but they’re gone. Any others?

Graphic design is someone’s passion 👀

From being our preferred choice of weekly scheduled groceries for the past few years to now consistent delays, out of stock items and poor customer service - the downfall of @bigbasket_com in the last few months has been disappointing!

@IKEAIndia Any update on starting deliveries in Gurgaon?
