Who's the best young designer you know in India?

Chetty Arun from Razorpay. <http://chettyarun.com/|http://chettyarun.com/>

<@URQQUBATE> I couldn't really find his portfolio. Do you happen to know him personally? :thinking_face:

Shubhra Chadda maybe?  She did the initial designs for Chumbak.

<@UGMC0PURJ> Yes, I know him from my razorpay days. He's been instrumental in shaping razorpay's design and branding right from the beginning (He was part of the core team)

Don't know about his portfolio but here's his dribbble profile <https://dribbble.com/chettyarun|https://dribbble.com/chettyarun>

Haha, good question <@U012V88Q0EB>. I'm used to working with 19—23yo designers in America/Argentina.

At that stage, they typically have a decent portfolio of side projects or have done a lot of execution in their first job.

e.g <https://twitter.com/pacocoursey>. I'm curious who's up and coming in India :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks <@URQQUBATE>! That Dribbble is great — I'll dm you for an intro — he's a lot more experienced than the sort of person I'm currently scouting for, but I bet he's connected with younger folk.

Likely past your limit of 23, but Vishnu is very good.

Oooh, love it. Intro me pls <@U012V88Q0EB>! <mailto:sarup@fassien.com|sarup@fassien.com>

```Hey Vishnu,

Please meet my friend Sarup who's building something new.

He's getting to know designers in India. I showed him your portfolio and he loves it! ```
(I can also cold reach-out if you don't know him personally!)

I know him personally, I have hired him for a small project of mine.

<@UGMC0PURJ> he definitely is connected with younger folks! He mentors a lot of junior designers from his college so he's the perfect person to talk to.

Let me know if you want me to get you in touch with him

That'd be awesome <@URQQUBATE>!

```Hey Chetty (Arun?),

Please meet Sarup who is building something new. Previously, he ran Growth and Marketing at Vercel.

I met him on an online forum, where he mentioned he's discovering young designers in India. 

I told him you're well-connected with the designer community, and he says he'd love to chat! ```
Thank you!

Vishnu and I worked together for around a year in my previous company. Let me know if you want me to reach out to him. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi <@UF3TP97LK>, Would you know anyone from your network?

<@UKWPW238E> — Swanand has introduced me, so all good for now! But thanks :bow:

Most young designers I know are still figuring shit out. <@UGMC0PURJ> I run a small design community. If you need a connect with someone in particular or want some other insight, I might be able to help.
