Ruchin Shah

(principal designer Frog)

Hira is a powerhouse of thoughtful, creative, and caring energy. I got to know Hira when he was an ECD at frog Munich and in-principle ECD for frog India, and I can say without a doubt that he is one of the most humble, empathetic and encouraging people that I know.

During his first visit to the India studio, he made me feel so welcome that I felt like we had been friends for years. He is a people-person who can connect with anyone! 

While collaborating with him on various projects and business pitches ranging from humanizing AI, DIY smart homes and mobile banking for Indian youth, I’ve come to appreciate his ability to break problems down to fundamentals, spark critical conversations and articulate design decisions so effortlessly. Over the years, I have reached out to Hira for advice on career paths, work skills, and startup ideas – and his feedback has always been well-thought-out, actionable, and human. He is a trustworthy mentor and I’m grateful (and sometimes amazed) that he’s always rooting for me.

We go back a long time! Hira is a craftsman who can accelerate adaption of new ideas. I have always admired his professionalism, know-how and strategic endeavor that have over decades helped companies to differentiate from others. His passion is to help companies find their own voice. Understand the concept of building their own design identity that can be turned into a very attractive story that consumers can relate to. Hira is a creator and lives in between worlds. In between industries and people. In between technology and emotions. In between manufacturing cost and exploring prototypes. He can one day be sitting in an executive meeting and the next day crafting design stories in the streets of NYC.

I had known Hira in the Sony Ericsson days working indirectly in various mobile projects where I had recognized a number of unique inspirations created by his team that contributed to creating company's brand equity. As we started working closely in HTC since 1.5 years ago, I truly found himself the most creative, consumer driven and goal oriented players that I ever worked in the past.

Hira is one of the few true talents I've had the pleasure working with. He has the ability to really engage people around him. His ability to package the complex in simple easy to understand stories really impressed me. I hope our paths intersect some time in the future!
