Hi there, I’m Alok Sharma. I’m a designer, problem solver, and lifelong learner based in the vibrant city of Bangalore, India. By day, I craft intuitive software experiences at Tekion. By night, I immerse myself in a world of ideas, creativity, and curiosity.
The path to design wasn’t linear for me—it was a leap of faith. After starting my career as a software engineer at Accenture, I realized my true passion lay not in writing code but in shaping how people interact with technology. After spending close to a year in Accenture, my first job, I made a transition into design, and I’ve never looked back.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with organizations across diverse industries. LafaLafa, my first experience as a designer, introduced me to the fast-paced world of e-commerce and UX Research. At Kreatryx, I contributed to EduTech solutions that eventually became part of Unacademy. At Wizikey, I tackled challenges in PR tech. Each experience added layers to my understanding of users, technology, and design’s potential to bridge the two.
Tekion has been my creative home since 2021, where I’ve been designing cutting-edge solutions for automotive software.
When I’m not designing, I’m diving into books, penning down thoughts, or capturing fleeting moments through my camera. I’m also guilty of a fair bit of internet doom-scrolling (we’ve all been there).
I’m passionate about organizing information and am currently building a personal note-taking system with Obsidian. It’s my way of bringing order to chaos and making sense of the endless ideas swirling in my head.
In my downtime, I love playing chess (almost daily!) and enjoying a game of snooker whenever the chance arises. Formula 1 hooked me in 2019, and football (Liverpool) recently. My weekends are also often spent on my love of bike rides (short and long distance).
I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out via Email, Twitter, LinkedIn
