About

The person behind Jhalmuri.ai.

Rakesh Mondal. Designer, builder, teacher. 15+ years making complex things feel simple — now doing the same for AI.

The story

I started my career assembling computers at a hardware shop. No design degree. No formal training. Just someone who figured things out by doing them.

That stubbornness turned into a 15+ year career designing products used by thousands of people. I have worked at director level, leading UX and design systems for enterprise SaaS platforms at Krutrim, Zomentum, Jifflenow and Indusface. At Krutrim, I led design for an AI-first cloud platform. At Zomentum, I built a design system that cut developer handoff time by 25% and lifted user engagement by 20%.

Across every project, the goal was the same: make something complex feel simple.

I also build my own products — Saasui.design and MotionGuide.ai (more on those below). Both come from the same belief: the right tool should do the heavy lifting so you can focus on the work that matters.

That is exactly why I built Jhalmuri.ai.

I kept meeting people — business owners, students, teachers, freelancers — who wanted to use AI but felt it was not for them. Too technical. Too much jargon. They were wrong.

I teach AI the way I learned design: by doing, not by theory. For local businesses, I help set up AI systems that get more customers, respond faster, and show up online — without you learning a single new tool. I also run workshops at colleges and design institutions across India, helping students build and ship real products using AI.

The packet

One packet. Many flavours.

AI learning for the curious. AI systems for the busy. Plain language for everyone.
