Summary
Aakash Mangla is a design lead based in New Delhi with 9 years of multidisciplinary experience combining product design, mechanical engineering, and strategic research. Trained at IIT Delhi and the National Institute of Design, he has led end-to-end design for hardware-software products—from a 6-axis robotic arm UI and serviceable enclosures to EV charging hubs and modular rural-focused solutions for Ola Electric. He blends hands-on prototyping and enclosure design with rigorous user research methods (shadowing, thematic analysis) to uncover non-obvious insights for underserved markets. As a co-founder and head of design on multiple ventures, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with the ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams in Agile environments. Currently driving design at Vecmocon Technologies, he excels at making complex systems intuitive and repairable, especially in contexts that demand scalability across urban and rural India.
