Komal Pandya-Rao Komal Pandya-RaoGlobal Head of Product Discovery & Innovation at Randstad Enterprise

I worked with Pooja at Mars, where she was the Product Designer on our HR data analytics search platform, the Idea Engine. Pooja brought a strategic eye to the entire design process, from early concepts through final execution, while never losing sight of the details that make a product feel truly polished. She partnered closely with our engineering team, translating between design and technical constraints with clarity and patience, and quickly became someone the whole team relied on to deliver. She also mentored other designers during this time.

Pooja stood out for her ability to deeply understand business needs, data, and decision-making contexts, and translate them into impactful product experiences. She was among the earliest designers onboarded due to her strong problem-solving mindset and data background, and quickly grew into one of the strongest product designers on the team. Her resilience, growth mindset, and consistent recognition from clients make her a standout designer and leader, and I’m confident she will add immense value wherever she goes.

Her attention to detail is evident in everything she produced. Beyond her technical contributions, Pooja is a true joy to work with. She collaborates easily with teammates and always has a positive attitude, even when faced with new or complex tasks.

Pooja has been an exemplary individual who has this unique eye for design and user centric product development. Her ability to get to the desired solution by asking the right questions is a skill that is generally missing in the common world. She showcases a high degree of professionalism and respects her word and work, when it comes to timelines and quality.
