Sheel Damani - Founder, Fruitfly Design

Sheel Damani

Founder, Fruitfly Design

With a career spanning more than a decade, I have found navigating the ever-evolving design landscape to be a deeply rewarding journey. Along the way, I have honed my craft and expanded my expertise across diverse sectors, transitioning from visual communication to strategic design that address complex challenges and create unparalleled value.

At the heart of my philosophy is a resolute belief in design’s potential to drive business transformation. I see design as the connective tissue between a company’s vision and its audience’s perception, seamlessly fusing strategic intent with immersive user experiences.

In addition to shaping Fruitfly Design and leading dynamic teams, I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of designers. From undergraduate to master’s students at institutions like NID, NIFT and Anant National University, I focus on cultivating their ability to think critically, design purposefully, and navigate the industry with confidence.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
