| | MAY 202219With respect to the present industry challenges, our designs, as well as our offerings, have evolved drasticallyGrowing from being one of the founding partners of a small design group to playing a pragmatic role in transforming the company into one of the biggest and most sought-after design firms in the market is definitely a big achievement for me. A lot of blood and sweat has gone into creating HUED, and every year, we keep on reinventing, rebounding, and expanding this organization. I also happen to be the founder of another startup named 'Sorted', which has just been launched, and we are gearing up for all the marketing and user acquisition efforts via it. So, 'Sorted' is basically the world's largest skill and hobby monetization platform, and being able to create a product like 'Sorted', is an achievement as well.What major changes in market behavior do you anticipate, and what opportunities do you foresee?Although digital transformation came a bit late in the market, it has been going very strongly. With industry taking new turns almost every day, numerous digital transformation projects are currently popping up, and this phenomenon is also creating a significant demand for innovative design professionals. So, I think the biggest opportunity that we see will remain pretty much in the digital realm. I also believe that organizations will have to find a way to meet the growing demand for talents, and this will always be a huge challenge. Because of the pace, the demand has increased, and in accordance with that, the availability of talent has not really been able to match up to the demand. So that will be one of the big challenges that organizations will have to face. What will you advise the upcoming leaders and entrepreneurs of the design domain?I would strongly recommend they keep experimenting. Rather than sticking to a particular arena, explore your options and opportunities because the industry remains highly unpredictable. There will be times when one cannot afford to stick to a particular domain, and I think this is where your expertise across a different domain might help you. Without deviating from your path and staying focused on the evolving trends of your domain, the budding professionals should try and explore other areas as well. This approach will definitely expand their horizons of understanding regarding how other complex systems function along with their different dimensions.
