About

Hello, I'm Ankit Dembla.

I'm an Art Director and Product Designer, currently running an independent design studio - Bhindi (in Mumbai, India). Bhindi was founded in 2013 and has served over 70 clients in 9 countries. Along with managing the studio, I have been consulting for World Around Me as Design Head for the past 8 years.

My work ranges from creating Augmented Reality experiences that are informative and immersive, to designing brand identities, marketing collaterals, and developing online e-commerce stores using Shopify and other low/no code tools.

Before starting Bhindi, I spent over 2 years leading a design team at Scarecrow, Mumbai, now acquired by M&C Saatchi, London. While at Scarecrow, my team won over 30 new clients, grew from 16 to 55 employees, and bagged multiple agency of the year and other global awards.

Previously, I had worked with McCann Erickson, Mumbai as an Art Director for 2 years. At McCann I handled L'oreal, Maybelline, Nerolac Paints, Onida, Pears Soap and Neo Sports, among other clients.

In my spare time, I manage a calligraphy e-commerce business (founded with my wife), mentor fine artist / painter / calligraphers to leap into digital world, speak at colleges/events, craft leather goods, sell icons, and design stationary.

I have been fortunate enough to get accolades all along my career. Some of the notable ones that I am really proud of are listed below.

  • Google Play Award - 2016

  • Google Play Award - 2017

  • Google Editors Choice Award
