Suram Hazarika

Designer & Manager,
Viacom18 Media Pvt. Ltd.

“Sohum is extremely smart, capable and most of all, vocal, a trait to be admired in anyone who claims to be an advocate for users in the murky field of product design. He brings with him bright, innovative ideas and a zeal to do things differently and has been instrumental in crafting delightful interfaces that are both functional as well as disruptive. He has been a pleasure to work with and would make a great addition to any product team that wants to do things differently but do them right.”

Marije de Haas

Head, Master Digital Design,

HvA, Amsterdam, NL

“Sohum has been a great student in the 2024-2025 cohort in the Master Digital Design programme. He approaches design with both empathy and a big-picture mindset. Beyond his creative and technical skills, he is an authentic individual and genuine character. He brings a grounded, fun, energetic yet reflective presence to every team, showing not only strong skills in teamwork, strategy, planning, and problem-solving, but also an inspiring ability to stay true to himself. I’m sure he’ll bring value wherever he chooses to go next.”

Shyam Bandekar

Head of Business,
Screenroot, Synapse

“Sohum joined us as an intern and very quickly became an integral part of the team. He is methodical and can articulate his thoughts well. In his short span here, he worked on a few varied projects - his problem-solving skills and easy-going nature will definitely make him an asset to any team he joins in the future.”
