Welcome.
Akshansh Chaudhary
Thank you for visiting. I'm a designer, engineer, and builder who has spent the past decade finding ways to make technology serve people — not the other way around.
From a hostel room in Dubai where I uploaded my first study notes, to the design studios of New York, to board rooms in India — every step has been guided by one belief: learn deeply, share freely, repeat always.
Background
One Step at a Time
I grew up studying Electronics and Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus. While most students were focused on grades, I was obsessed with understanding — and with sharing what I'd figured out. Those handwritten notes I posted online in 2013 still reach thousands of students every month.
In 2015, I channelled that systems-thinking into Spine Software Systems, a company built to bring digital transformation to traditional industries. Every project taught me that the best technology disappears — it just makes work feel easier.
Wanting to deepen the design craft, I went to Parsons School of Design in New York (2018–2020) for an MFA in Design & Technology. My thesis — Signature — explored privacy in virtual reality, asking what it means to be seen in a world where biometric data flows freely.
Today, as Executive Director & CTO of Venus Remedies Limited, I lead the digital transformation of one of India's most trusted pharmaceutical companies. The mission remains the same: make complex systems simple for the people who depend on them.

"My philosophy has always been to take it one step at a time. Rushing leads to shortcuts. Patience leads to depth."

Why I Do This
Contributing to make lives easier — for myself and for others.
I am a systems thinker. I see patterns where others see chaos, and I find joy in building bridges that let knowledge flow freely between people, disciplines, and generations.
This drives everything — the study notes I shared from a hostel room, the products I've built at Spine, the design research I pursued at Parsons, and the transformation work I lead at Venus Remedies. The methods change. The mission doesn't.
The L.U.N.A. Framework
Every encounter is a chance to acquire new knowledge. Learning is not a phase — it is a permanent state of being.
Facts without context are noise. Understanding means finding the structure beneath the surface.
Once you understand a system, you can move through it with intention — and help others do the same.
What is learned and understood should be preserved and shared, so the next person starts further ahead.
Journey
The Path That Led Here
2011
BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus
Joined Electronics & Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani's Dubai campus. Four years of learning, lab sessions, and the slow discovery that understanding something deeply enough to teach it is the highest form of mastery.
2013
The Notes Go Online
From a hostel room, I uploaded handwritten lecture notes to a website I called akshansh.net. A small act of sharing. Within months, students from across India and the world were downloading them daily. They haven't stopped since.
2015
Spine Software Systems
Founded Spine Software Systems to bring digital transformation to traditional businesses. The conviction: technology should be a bridge, not a barrier. Every engagement taught me how to translate between the language of machines and the language of people.
2018–2020
Parsons School of Design, New York
MFA in Design & Technology at Parsons, The New School. My thesis — Signature — examined privacy in virtual reality and what it means to be seen in a world of biometric data. The year New York changed how I see systems, people, and the responsibility of design.

Executive Director & CTO, Venus Remedies
Leading the digital and technological transformation of Venus Remedies Limited, one of India's most trusted pharmaceutical companies. The mission: make century-old expertise accessible, scalable, and humane through intelligent systems.
FAQ
Common Questions
About the work process, design philosophy, and how to get in touch.
What kind of work do you take on?
Design, engineering, and strategy — particularly where they intersect. I'm most energised by transformation challenges: taking something complex, broken, or invisible and making it clear, functional, and human. That's been the through-line from study notes to pharma tech to VR thesis work.
What is your design philosophy?
Design should disappear. When something is truly well-designed, you stop noticing it and start using it. I am drawn to systems thinking — understanding the whole before designing any part. I also believe that constraints produce creativity: the best design I've seen comes from people working with what they have, not waiting for ideal conditions.
Are you available for freelance or consulting?
My primary commitment is to Venus Remedies, but I am occasionally available for consulting on digital transformation, design strategy, or technology leadership — particularly for companies in traditional industries looking to evolve. Reach out to akshansh@hey.com with a brief description of what you're working on.
How do you approach a new project?
I start by listening longer than feels comfortable. Most briefs contain the seed of the real problem — but it's rarely stated in the first conversation. Once I understand the system (the people, the constraints, the incentives), I work fast and iteratively, sharing rough work early and often. No big reveal at the end.
What is the L.U.N.A. framework?
L.U.N.A. is how I structure learning and knowledge work: Learn (acquire information), Understand (find the structure beneath it), Navigate (move through systems with intention), Archive (preserve and share what was learned). It's the operating system behind everything from the study notes to the way I lead transformation projects.
Where can I find more of your work?
The Projects section of this site has the design and engineering work. The Notes section has over 70 subjects of study material from my engineering degree. The Blog has writing on technology, design, and the occasional reflection. And if you'd like to talk, akshansh@hey.com is always open.
