I'm Sathyan Velumani
Product Designer, India.
I bring over 18 Years of experience in User Experience & Product Design, delivering value across diverse domains including B2B SaaS, Payments, Integrations, Field Sales, CRMs, mAgri, Healthcare, and Mobile Telecom. I’m passionate about simplifying complex use cases in B2B SaaS and crafting scalable, meaningful design systems.
My experience and exposure has helped me strive to continuously create a balance between Business, Experience and the technology and its constraints especially in SaaS.
I enjoy building and mentoring teams, fostering processes that help individuals perform at their best. My curiosity for research has taken me through the dry lands of Northern Ghana, Kenya, Sri Lanka, and remote regions of Southern India—uncovering user insights and cultural nuances to build usable, inclusive products.
