Born and raised in New Delhi (India), I had always been aberrant for figuring out the problems and providing solutions. After completing schooling at DPS Mathura Road, I moved to Manchester City to pursue Engineering in Computer Science from the University of Manchester. During my time at the university, I felt a keen interest in UX aspects of the digital world and developed a passion for graphic designing. After returning to India, I started working as a freelance designer on many platforms where I realized that none of the platforms were able to meet the client’s expectations. The quality of the solutions provided by them was nowhere near the international standards. And, the charges were too high. The whole process was challenging; from hiring a professional graphic designer to delivering responsive designs, was too costly. There was a scarcity of talented designers in the market.
Thereafter, along with my brother Rahul Aggarwal, I felt the utter need for creating a dedicated graphic design marketplace to connect freelance designers and businesses as well as individuals looking for affordable creative solutions. It led to the creation of the leading creative marketplace, Designhill. Within just 14 months, Designhill hit the magic number of $1M ARR. I believe that my astounding digital knowledge and impregnable business skills have led Designhill to be acknowledged as the Creative Startup Of The Year 2019 by Entrepreneur Magazine.
Currently, the company is growing at 21% MoM and will grow 10x within the next year. In a span of just 6 years, Designhill has helped more than 1.2 million business owners source high-quality creatives and kick start their entrepreneurial journey. Moreover, we have a strong creative community of 200k+ artists and designers, spanned across 180+ countries. In the last year alone, we recorded a creative being generated every 9.17 seconds on Designhill which speaks volumes about our AI & ML-backed technology innovations.
Our vision at Designhill is to become an end-to-end creative marketplace. In lieu of the same, we recently launched PrintShop by Designhill, a creative print-on-demand marketplace for artists around the world to monetize their work on 50+ unique products like t-shirts, hoodies, phone cases, pillows and more within minutes. I believe, so far we have only achieved 1% and the journey continues. I think we have made some big steps in this direction already, but we are just getting started. I want to make it super easy for anyone to source high-quality designs.
With such keenness to provide excellent solutions, I have been awarded as the Rising Entrepreneur of the year 2019, Entrepreneur 35 Under 35 in 2020, Entrepreneur of the Year 2020, Business World 40 Under 40, Forbes 30 Under 30, and Most Promising Business Leaders of Asia by Economic Times that signifies me as a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, passionate advisor and firm believer in the concept of constant learning and growing. Apart from this, I am a frequent guest on podcasts sharing my entrepreneurial journey, challenges I have faced and growth hacks to help aspiring entrepreneurs be inspired and kick start their journey.
