Started by a designer who got tired of duct-taping five different tools together. Here's the full story.
In 2020, Nitesh Salvi was running a design consultancy in Mumbai. Good work, good clients — but the operations were a mess. Every client had a different folder structure. Every deliverable meant hunting for the right version of the logo, manually entering the same hex codes again, and resending files after someone opened the wrong version.
The design tools out there were either too basic to handle real client work, or so complex that handing a Figma file to a client meant a 45-minute onboarding call just to leave a comment. There wasn't a middle path — something built for teams that need production-quality output without the learning curve of traditional design software.
So Nitesh built what he needed. What started as internal tooling for one consultancy eventually became the platform that thousands of creative teams now depend on. MyNaksh is backed by Gemba Capital through a seed round investment.
Design work should keep pace with the ideas behind it. Every hour a team spends on file management, brand corrections, or email-based feedback loops is an hour they're not doing the work that actually matters.
Templates and brand kits eliminate the 20 minutes of repetitive setup before every project. That time adds up. Designers get it back to spend on work that actually requires judgment.
When a team grows from 2 to 20, brand consistency usually falls apart — wrong logo versions, off-spec colors, inconsistent fonts. MyNaksh makes brand standards enforceable without being heavy-handed.
Design review cycles that used to take 3 days of email back-and-forth now close in a few hours. Structured approvals, element-level comments, full version history.
These are not aspirational values. They are the principles that shaped the product decisions we made and will continue to make.
The best design tools require zero coding knowledge to use. We build for people who design, not developers who happen to design on the side.
When team members can see each other's work clearly, quality goes up. Not because of accountability — because everyone has better context. We build transparency into every collaboration feature.
A strong design system with clear standards consistently outperforms a single talented designer working without one. We build tools that help teams create and maintain those systems — not just for big companies, but for teams of five.
We connect with Figma, Adobe, Slack, WordPress, and more. MyNaksh fits into how you already work — we're not asking you to rebuild everything around a new tool.
