Ron Severdia
VP of UX Design
In a relatively short time, Manali made meaningful contributions across several important initiatives. She played a key role in a major design refresh effort, helping create personas, design micro-interactions and animations and build interactive prototypes that had a direct and positive impact on both the user experience and our research capabilities.
One of Manali’s greatest strengths is her openness to feedback and different perspectives. She approaches collaboration with curiosity, professionalism, and a genuine desire to improve.

Joash Pereira
Design Manager
I had the privilege of managing Manali for over a year and a half, and during that time she grew into one of the strongest product designers on the team. Alongside her design craft, she developed strong business acumen and a deeper understanding of how product decisions are made.
What stood out most was her ability to take feedback and quickly turn it into stronger work. She was thoughtful, adaptable, and consistently raised the bar as her responsibilities grew. Manali brings both strong design skills and sound judgment, and I'd confidently recommend her to any team.

Maninder Saini
Product Leader
I have had the pleasure of working with Manali at Mindtickle, collaborating across several complex projects and I can say with confidence that she’s one of the most reliable and self-driven designers I have worked with.
What stood out was how Manali stepped up to lead larger, more complex projects with confidence, driving work from start to finish, while collaborating smoothly with product managers, developers and other designers. Manali communicates clearly and takes feedback openly and constructively. Her use of AI tools for early prototyping has brought genuine efficiency to the exploration phase with faster momentum, better quality and informed decisions earlier in the process.

Divyaa Bhargava
Design Manager
She navigates ambiguity well. Whether it was a shifting product brief or an undefined problem space, Manali approached it with maturity and conviction, knowing when to push back as a designer and when to adapt. That balance is rare, and it speaks to both her craft and her product thinking.
What I appreciate most is her commitment to growth beyond the obvious. She is naturally more introspective, but I watched her step into community and public-facing spaces as a speaker and collaborator, with increasing confidence and presence.

Chandni Karelia
Senior Product
Designer
She brings a strong product sensibility to every conversation. Her ability to connect UX decisions to product outcomes made her an invaluable voice in our brainstorming sessions.
She is also someone who stays ahead of the curve on tools. From Bolt.ai and Lovable to Figma Make, Manali is always exploring what's next and she brings the team along with her. Our weekly skill-building sessions were her initiative and they meaningfully improved our iteration speed and ability to prototype ideas before committing to full designs.

What makes Manali stand out is how she thinks about design. She brings a strong product sensibility to every conversation. During the Call AI design refresh, she didn't just contribute visually; she actively shaped how we thought about unifying the product experience, offering perspectives that went well beyond aesthetics. Her ability to connect UX decisions to product outcomes made her an invaluable voice in our brainstorming sessions.

Manali is a great mentor, User experience designer and a manager! During the 6 months I worked with her, she always kept the team motivated and shared knowledge with thorough insights and discussions. I believe she is a very good User experience designer, as her people skills are highly developed. Also, she has always collaborated effectively to create the exact required solutions necessary for the projects she has worked in.
