You are someone who:
✔ sees Instagram as an educational platform
✔ loves crafting visual analogies
✔ gets excited by cause-driven design
✔ can turn numbers into charts
✔ can turn policy into posters

This role is not for someone who wants a standard job with repetitive tasks.
It’s for someone who wants to say:

“I designed the system that transformed India’s waste into clean energy.”

If this gives you energy…
We should talk.
