Navin Balakrishnan,
Creative Director
While young Clark Kent started out as a journalist, in real life he started out as a wannabe copywriter. He switched to design the first opportunity he got and has been pursuing it for over a decade now. But that didn't stop him from flying! With some core print design experience he moved to online design, where he fell in love with the medium. The high point in his career - winning the Silver Abby in 2002 for the best website!

Now a matured Navin Balakrishnan (a.k.a. Clark Kent) is our Creative Director at Indigo Consulting! He is also a BIG horror movie buff. He reads classic adventure novels, wildlife stories, Alistair Maclean, Jeffery Archer etc. And finally, the reason we call him Clark Kent is because he is a big fan of strength / combat related sports and is a state-level Silver Medal winner in Judo! Great guy, creatively inclined and inspiring in stature.move out of the way, puny PMs!!

Jyoti Kotecha,
Vice President & Director - Operations & Delivery.
Juggling between leadership and management of the technology and delivery team, and managing client relationships, Jyoti ably oversees the timely and to-spec delivery of all of Indigo Consulting's web development projects. A PMI Certified Professional (2008-2011), Jyoti held management positions at Geodesic Information Technology and IL&FS, prior to joining Indigo Consulting.

Vikas Sah,
Chief Technology Officer
Vikas Sah made it out of IIT, New Delhi with a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering. Next on his to-do list was a Master's in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Buffalo, New York. Satisfied with his conquests in the field of education, he dived into the world of technology and online marketing. Not one to swim slow, Vikas worked with several web technology start-ups and was even a founding member of some of them. Before Indigo Consulting scooped him out, he was zapping the competition as CEO of Zitz Solutions and pushing tech on everyone as the CTO of Empowered Media. Did you think he was really done with picking up professional qualifications? Nope, he also grabbed the PMP (Project Management Professional) credential offered by the Project Management Institute.

In case you're getting the impression Vikas was an 'all work, no play' dull boy, you should know his soft-spoken nature hides a terrible secret. The man's a gadget freak with a truly frightening love for the horror and thriller genres, so you don't want to know what's going on in that head...

Priti Jhavar,
Vice President & Director - Client Services.
Another veteran of the online industry in India, Priti started her career with the highly successful Online Solutions (eventually sold to Intiqua) in the late nineties. At Indigo Consulting, Priti oversees client services and project management from strategy to execution.

Over the years at Indigo Consulting, Priti has shaped many of the company's success stories and much of its culture. Don't let her diminutive size fool you - she is a strong-willed woman, a complete live-wire, and her kick on the shin packs quite a punch (ask anyone at Team Indigo). And if you hear the words "One Up, One Down", run a mile. Don't ask why, just run!

Harshit Desai,
Vice President & Head - Usability Services
Harshit has racked up a decade in the field of crafting the perfect user experience, and bagged the Rajiv Gandhi Award for Entrepreneur of the Year in 2009. He cofounded Pure IT which specialises in usability research, human resource consulting and SOX compliance. At Emboss, he developed and facilitated soft skills and technology training programmes for clients like Infosys, JP Morgan and Lintas.

Clearly, Harshit is no backbencher, whether in the classroom or the boardroom. In engineering, he pioneered the revolutionary method of learning with closed eyes on the front bench. No doubt, his unique brand of innovation carried him through the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford.

Harshit loves teaching and has been sharing his extensive knowledge at over half a dozen business schools. On weekends you can find him in the kitchen, cooking up a storm of deliciousness for his wife and son.

Satwick Saxena,
Head of Mobile Marketing
Satwick is a master in the art of mobile marketing. Give him a brand and he will tell you 10 ways to market it on a mobile phone.

Having worked with two global leaders – Infosys & Dentsu – Satwick can combine the best of technology with media. Satwick’s experiences from both the industries, along with his understanding of the mobile medium, help’s Indigo create a new generation of mobile marketing solutions.

If QR Codes, S60, Mobile Augmented Reality sound gibberish to you, then a sermon from him is due!
