During his formative years, I have had the fortune to work with Sumit at Mathscapes, and I have witnessed his growth as a designer from then. Further, his practical experience as an Industrial Designer at Studio Ubbens in France and his industrious work on his thesis project with Philips highlights the breadth of his exposure. Sumit's diverse roles reveal his continuous pursuit of design knowledge, be it through teaching, creating, or consulting. His journey reflects a professional trajectory that is both inspiring and aspirational for upcoming designers.
