Design Journey

Worked together, learned together, built better products.

I’m a product designer based in India with 7 years of experience. I joined ShareChat in its early days, when the platform was still scaling from around 1 million users (now over 320 million). Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to see my work reach millions—witnessing how thoughtful design can leave a lasting impact, often in subtle, unseen ways.

Along the way, I’ve led and mentored a multidisciplinary design team of 10+ including UX designers, visual designers, and interaction designers. I take pride in nurturing talent, creating clarity in fast-moving environments, and building strong cross-functional partnerships to drive product outcomes. I approach design as an evolving system which is constantly shaped by feedback, iteration, and user insight. Outside of work, I am passionate about animation & interaction.

Here are few interesting works from my time at sharechat, while I was building chatroom's virtual gifting.

Dear Oliver,

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my excitement about creating websites with Framer's intuitive no-code platform.

Let's explore it together!Looking forward to discussing more about our design adventures!

Sameer Gupta
Director of Product, ShareChat

I worked closely with Chetan at ShareChat, where he led the design for ShareChat Chatrooms—one of the company’s most successful products, which grew into a $50M ARR business in India.

As a manager, Chetan has built and led high-performing teams of designers and researchers, all of whom hold him in the highest regard. Beyond his professional capabilities, he’s simply a fantastic person to work with - thoughtful, driven, and always supportive.

I had the privilege of working closely with Chetan at ShareChat, where he led the chatroom design team with a strong vision and relentless focus on impact, scale, and execution.

He built and scaled a cross-functional design team across UX, visual, and interaction design, and also helped streamline processes, cut down back-and-forth with devs, and set up a solid design system that really improved speed and consistency across the board.

He’s among the most impactful design leaders I’ve worked with, and I’m grateful to have learned from him.

Rachita, Lead UXR - Sharechat

Over four years of working closely with Chetan on projects including ShareChat communities and audio chatrooms, I've consistently witnessed his genuine curiosity and meticulous problem-solving approach. He excels at navigating complex constraints while scaling products to millions of users.

What makes Chetan exceptional is his collaborative spirit—he's both an outstanding colleague and mentor. His ability to break down challenges and work cross-functionally creates meaningful impact for every team he joins.
