"In my two years here at Amazon, Saikat is one of the best designers I have ever worked with.
Both here at Amazon (and at previous employers), I’ve learned that it is rare to find a designer that is extremely fast, delivers a high quality of work even in “Rush” situations, and provides unsolicited “Smart” feedback and recommendations.
Saikat is one of those rare designers! I’ve enjoyed working with Saikat and highly recommend him."

"I had the chance to work with Saikat for nearly a year, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career so far.
What stands out about Saikat is his passion for design thinking and solving problems at scale. He’s always looking at the bigger picture, pushing for new ideas, better processes, and smarter ways of working that genuinely move the team and organization forward.
But what I’ve appreciated the most is how supportive he is as a mentor. When I joined his team, he took the time to guide me, patiently answering questions and helping me grow. He leads with empathy, and it creates a space where learning feels constant and encouraged.
I’m truly grateful for everything I’ve learned from him and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again."

"I had the privilege to work with Saikat some years back in Kuliza. I must say he is extremely knowledgeable and in fact taught our team (including me) concepts related to UX Design in great detail. He is a great problem solver and singlehandedly worked on the most complex projects for Kuliza - and got amazing client appreciation in every case. He has great eye for detail and world class prototyping and project execution skills. He is just a creative genius to say the least. Would highly recommend him for any Design role - he will surely add amazing value to your organisation. Make sure he gets the much deserved respect and recognition for the work he does always!"

"Working with Saikat Roy has been a defining experience in my career. From day one, he invested in my growth—not just as a designer, but as a well-rounded professional. His patience and encouragement during my learning phase pushed me to consistently strive for excellence.
Saikat leads by example. He blends deep design expertise with a structured, business-driven mindset—always aligning creative work with strategic outcomes. His farsighted approach ensures design delivers real, lasting impact.
A standout example of his leadership is his work on building the design system for Jio—a large-scale high-impact initiative that showcases his ability to think at scale, define structure, and elevate the design culture across the organization.
Under his guidance, I’ve grown immensely in both skill and mindset. It’s been a privilege to learn from him."

"I had the pleasure of working with Saikat for more than three years and was impressed by his strong design thinking and user-centric approach.
He has a great ability to understand complex problems, uncover user needs, and translate insights into intuitive and impactful product experiences.
Saikat brings a strong combination of UX thinking, information architecture, interaction design, and attention to detail. Most importantly, he follows up on actual metrics once the feature/product goes live."

"Saikat is a really good designer with an in-depth knowledge of a plethora of UI and UX concepts, that he is always willing to explain and impart knowledge on. His work is detail oriented and exhaustive - keeping the business and end-users needs at the designs core. He brings a lot of positive energy to his work and it was great working with him!"

Design Colleague @ Honeywell
"Saikat is indeed a keen intellectual who is interested in anything under the sky.
He views everything with an eye of the designer, observing and understanding systems around him. This way he has the innate ability to understand the problem. Every designer knows that finding the problem is the biggest problem and Saikat has this sorted.
I often approach him to view his options for he is blunt and clear. If you pay attention he can truly tell you what is wrong with your product and how to fix it.
Needless to say any company will be lucky to have him."

"The standout feature about Saikat is his understanding of design. He is a person who will take time and explain design concepts with metaphors and real life examples to make you understand.

Design Colleague @ Jio
"I have had the incredible opportunity of working with saikat on a big project almost a year ago. His sense of usable design and knowledge of human behaviour while interracting with digital systems is impeccable.
Anytime i had a design doubt, he would sit me down and encourage me to think in a different way, which helped me more than just giving me the answers. He has been an amazing mentor through and through and i am glad i could work with him."
