Courses teach the same curriculum to hundreds of people. We assess YOUR specific gaps and build a curated plan just for you. Plus, you get 1:1 mentorship - not just pre-recorded videos and generic feedback.
The core program is 90 days. Some mentees land roles in 5 weeks, others take 3 months. It depends on your starting point, target role, and how much effort you put in.
No one can honestly guarantee jobs - market conditions, individual effort, and timing all play a role. What we guarantee is dedicated mentorship, honest feedback, and a structured path. 80% of our mentees have achieved their career goals.
We don't abandon you at day 90. We continue working together based on your progress and needs.
Pricing depends on the program and your goals. Book a strategy call and we'll discuss what makes sense for your situation.

Start by learning UX fundamentals through online courses, build a portfolio with personal or volunteer projects, and network with other designers. Focus on understanding user research, information architecture, and interaction design. Consider mentorship for personalized guidance and faster results.
It depends on experience and company type: • Entry (0-2 yrs): ₹4-8 LPA • Mid (2-5 yrs): ₹8-18 LPA • Senior (5-8 yrs): ₹18-28 LPA • Lead/Principal (8+ yrs): ₹28-45+ LPA Product companies and funded startups pay higher than agencies. Location matters less now with remote roles.
No. Most hiring managers care about your portfolio, problem-solving ability, and communication skills — not your degree. A design or psychology degree can help, but it's not required. What matters is showing you understand users, can think strategically, and can ship real work. Self-taught designers with strong portfolios regularly get hired over candidates with degrees but weak case studies.
Three ways: 1. Redesign existing products — Pick an app you use, identify real problems, and design solutions. Document your thinking. 2. Concept projects — Invent a realistic problem (e.g., "Help first-time investors track expenses") and design end-to-end. 3. Volunteer or freelance — NGOs, early-stage startups, and small businesses need design help and won't demand years of experience. Focus on showing your process, not just pretty screens. Hiring managers want to see how you think.
UX (User Experience) is about how a product works — research, flows, information architecture, and making sure users can achieve their goals without friction. UI (User Interface) is about how it looks — visual design, typography, colors, spacing, and making sure the interface is clear and aesthetically consistent. In practice, most product companies expect designers to do both. The titles often overlap. Focus on being good at solving user problems — the labels matter less.
If you're focused and consistent: • Basics (tools + methods): 2-3 months • Portfolio-ready: 4-6 months • Job-ready (with feedback + iteration): 6-9 months Speed depends on how much time you invest weekly and whether you get feedback from experienced designers. Courses alone won't get you hired — real projects and mentorship accelerate the process.
