He has been an active member of the design community and has given quite a few talks at the places like Google Dev fest, and Google Developers Group.
More than talking at events or conferences Sunil loves teaching design to school kids. He started a program called 'Design Gyaan' for school kids <3 Covered in the personal section below.
Sunil always felt that why schools don't focus on teaching design. Why they don't talk about how to build a career in design?
After much thought and discussions with his designer friends, he started an event called DesignGyaan, which aims to teach and foster design thinking skills among school students. The focus is to highlight the role design plays in the real world. The event showcases examples that help students channel their creative thoughts and apply them to think of better designs for existing products/technologies. The workshop provides an educational and learning platform that helps students think of “designing” as a viable career option.
Gyaan means knowledge in Hindi.
