I’m Nilesh Malawadkar, a Senior Multimedia Design Manager based in Pune, where I lead end-to-end creative across print, digital, and motion graphics. For 20 years, I’ve built high-performing visual campaigns—creating ad creatives, posters, brochures, emailers, digital banners, presentation decks, and social media carousels—while ensuring strong typography, color discipline, and brand consistency. I’m also passionate about accelerating production with AI-powered workflows. At Netsurf Network, I designed and implemented an AI-driven production ecosystem using tools like Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Google Veo, and Luma to speed up turnaround times significantly, while still keeping creative quality high. Alongside execution, I’m the go-to design lead for client/stakeholder alignment, studio operations, and team delivery—balancing creativity, process, and measurable results.
