Sheel Damani

Founder and Principal Strategist, Fruitfly Design

With a career spanning over 16 years, 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 and leading cross-functional 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

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
