Bombay Design Centre appoints Vikas Tandon as a Board Advisor

Bombay Design Centre is pleased to announce that Vikas Tandon, a seasoned entrepreneur, and strategist, has joined Bombay Design Centre as an official advisor. An IIM-A alumnus, Vikas Tandon, will play an advisory role supporting the leadership at Bombay Design Centre in focus areas of strategy, growth, and management.

Bombay Design Centre is one of the few firms in India with strategy, design, and tech expertise under one roof. With a dedicated goal of delivering work and performances that match global levels, Bombay Design Centre always aims to carve out and realise the vision of designing better digital products and experiences while achieving growth in India and looking at global business.

Commenting on this new collaboration, Vikas Tandon said, “As part of my efforts to stay in touch with the industry and design trends while at Indigo Consulting, I would always look up interesting UX design work and the people behind the work. I discovered Bombay Design Centre during one such recce and was immediately impressed with their refreshing, international-grade design and execution. I got to know Ankur and his team and was further impressed by their larger-than-life passion to ‘design a better India’. When Ankur suggested coming on board as an advisor, I saw it as not only an opportunity to stay engaged with the industry I have been a part of since 1998 but also a chance to be a part of a movement to push Indian design and UX standards to a global level and beyond. The Bombay Design Centre team, in my opinion, has the talent, vision, and drive to do some amazing things in this space, and I hope I can contribute in some way while helping them build and scale a profitable business.”

Ankur Rander, Founder and CEO of Bombay Design Centre, said, "Vikas is a leader, an entrepreneur, a culturist, and a strategic thinker. He has an enviable body of work and an inimitable width of experience. As we grow and expand, our board is tasked with taking strategic decisions. We turn to our advisors for perspective and long-term understanding and to help us navigate chaotic environments."

“Vikas is coming on board at a juncture where we are trying to set new design and strategic work benchmarks while also defining the organisation’s future roadmap. We firmly believe that with his experience and entrepreneurial zeal, he can help us spot the opportunities, avoid the pitfalls and build a truly global Indian design firm. We are delighted to have him join us and look forward to working with him.”

The appointment of Vikas Tandon is a significant milestone for Bombay Design Centre and the company is confident that his expertise and guidance will help them achieve new heights of success and impact in the years to come.
