#51 - Robin Dhanwani - On Building Parallel, Design Delusion & Finding Meaning in Chaos

Season 1 Episode 51

Robin Dhanwani is the founder of Parallel, a product-design studio that works with startups, enterprises, and public systems to design with empathy and clarity.
He talks about building a studio from scratch, selling design in India, and why the most important part of design is learning when to stop.

From building Parallel to redesigning DigiLocker, Robin Dhanwani’s story is about designing with intent in a world obsessed with speed.

An engineer-turned-designer, he’s spent over a decade shaping products and systems that connect craft with impact.

On Groundbreakin, we talk about:
– Building Parallel from scratch and staying independent
– The “delusion” every founder needs to start
– Designing for governments and public systems
– And how to find meaning in the mess of building something real
