Devyani M.Lal

“Devyani and I have known each other long. We began our Design journeys as classmates and, many years later, had a chance to work together at Tata Elxsi. Devyani's breath of research knowledge is outstanding. Not only does she have an excellent grasp on the research approaches but constantly works on honing her craft. She is a skilled presenter who can deliver compelling and engaging sessions to both her peers and external stakeholders. She is also an inspiring line manager, who takes the time to coach and develop the colleagues she works with and gets the best out of them. I enjoyed working with her and hope our paths cross in the future!”

“Devyani is one of the best managers I have ever worked for and with. In the 2 years that I worked with Devyani, I saw her grow her impact from being an inspiring and reliable project lead into a leader and role model for many - influencing many teams both internally and of our clients. She is creative, a fierce advocate of human-centred design and has a way of winning over any client, perhaps through her passion about what she does. Devyani is a great motivator and was more than a manager to me and many others in our team. She was a mentor. I would jump at the chance to work with her again. ”
