Hiran Venugopalan

Product and design leader based in Bengaluru. Spent 15+ years building products, teams, and communities across startups, agencies, and enterprise. Co-founded a digital studio, led design through acquisition, and kept building on the side: typefaces, tools, open source initiatives. I run UXFOSS and Kerala Designers Collaborative. Most of my thinking is at hiran.in. If you have an idea, a product challenge, or something you're working through, I'm happy to talk. No agenda needed. Newsletter.

20 Minute Mentoring Call

A quick 20 minute conversation for designers, makers, and people figuring things out. Bring a question, a challenge, a career decision, a product problem, or something you need another perspective on. If there’s a little context I should know beforehand, feel free to share it.

Coffee and Conversation

I’m trying to meet more people, hear their stories, and learn what they’re building, exploring, or figuring out. If you’re in Bangalore, let’s meet over coffee and have an easy conversation with no fixed agenda. Bring an idea, a question, a project, or just yourself. If you have a favorite cafe in Indiranagar, suggest it, or I'll pick a spot nearby. If you’re in another city, drop me an email. We might find a way to make it happen.
