Malhar Gosavi

I am an industrial designer specializing in product design. I graduated from UID, Gujarat (Gandhinagar), and have been actively working in the field since. I grew up in Pune, a city rich in art and culture, which greatly influenced my creative journey. My passion for drawing began at a young age, and during junior college, I discovered my love for design something that continues to drive my work today.
