What people say

Factmata built a completely new product and it’s tough for anyone who builds to understand initially. But Roop made it look easy and the designs were amazing with which we can gain many pilots.

Roop’s communication regarding problem analysis and research was performed before delving into solutions. For instance, when Roop handled the handover of Error Handling when I joined Appsmith, the amount of documented information was incredibly helpful for my onboarding and ongoing work.

Additionally, when Roop presents something during design reviews, alignment calls, or in offline communication, he always provides a clear recap of the problem, which greatly assists others in focusing on it and providing more targeted feedback on the solution.

Carina Forsenca, Principal PM at UserCentrics

Roop’s dedication and ability to deliver high-quality work on time is truly commendable. His problem-first approach to projects is appreciable as it demonstrates his commitment to quality work & finding innovative solutions. Roop is an excellent collaborator. He maintains a good rapport with your colleagues, fostering a positive and collaborative. His adaptability to change is noteworthy.

Though there were a lot of changes last year in terms of his reporting manager, projects that he enjoyed and his initial hesitation in joining the monetisation team, I think he has taken it extremely well & shown immense sincerity in your work.

Bharghavi, Design manager at Freshworks

Roop is someone who can make amazing designs almost effortlessly. It is amazing to see how detailed he can be. He also understands the user very well. He is a designer who has an engineering background, which makes it really enjoyable to collaborate with him. Roop is an excellent collaborator. He is able to always take feedback as intended, and calm things down. He is always expressing his thoughts in a productive and constructive manner.

He is also a designer whom I can always trust to create iterations quickly, making the design phase move very smoothly.

Away from the desk

Gaming

Started on GTA Vice City, then CS 1.6 on LAN servers with friends. Dota 2 came next and never left. It has been my go-to game for years now.

Anime & movies

One Piece is the story I keep going back to, and Zoro is the one I look up to. Movies I catch on day one, day two at the latest.

Long drives

Bengaluru to Goa, over and over. Before that it was out of Vizag, into Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Anywhere in the country works, as long as I can drive there.

The desk

One monitor, one keyboard, a PS5 under the TV. It is the work desk and the gaming setup, so it has to stay clear enough to be either in about a minute. Anything that has not been picked up in a week goes in the drawer.
