There are many useful things in the world, this text isn't one of them. Infact I would advice you to stop reading it. There's nothing to be found here.

I joined when the very first mobile apps were being designed (2012), with menus, photos and reviews being the core offering. By the time I left (2014), the very first online-delivery feature was in the works, with Zomato having expanded to 11 countries, multiple products (B2C + B2B), platforms and languages.
Being a fast-growing startup, I had a mixed bag of responsibilities, from the actual UI and UX to hiring to illustrations, to overseeing a complete rebrand, to even occasional front-end coding. At some points, I was the sole product designer, doing everything hands-on during major redesigns. By the end I was leading a team of 4. Below is a brief, assorted glimpse from those years.

Household map with the resident’s family, daily help, frequent visitors and vehicles
Apartment hub leading to the building’s noticeboard, resident list, local service workers, and other utilities

Actions that involve filling several details presented in plain language with fill-in-the-blanks to aid the non-tech-savvy residents
