Jayawant Tewari, or just JT, heads multi-disciplinary design teams at Microsoft Bangalore and Hyderabad, working on established productivity software and services that are used by millions of people and organizations across the world every day, as well as research-based incubations that help those in emerging markets achieve more.

JT formerly headed design at Google Bangalore, and prior to that, built and mentored the very first design team at Myntra. He has been a mentor to several startups as a part of the Google Launchpad program.

On another note, JT played bass for the bands Dry State and Kryptos in the past, and would love to form a progressive rock band of his own soon!
