Priyank Sharma

I’m an Indian Design Leader who is currently leading the Design Function at Koo India. Before Koo, I was at MX Player/MX TakaTak, where I led a strong 50-member design team across Product, Graphics and Games. I’m credited for the successes of Hotstar, MX Player and MX TakaTak – some of the biggest products to come out of India.

Career Highlights

I joined Hotstar as a Senior Designer in November 2014, where I designed the product across a diverse array of platforms, such as Android, iOS, Web, Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV; it helped pave the way for many other OTT platforms in India which began springing up. Owing to the success of the product, I eventually became the Head of Design in 2016, and subsequently headed the product and graphic design teams responsible for most of the company’s significant feature releases.

I was formally recruited to MX Player as a Global Head of Design in April 2018. My first major assignment was regarded as a breakthrough for MX Player when it moved from only being a video player to a full-fledged OTT platform. I overlooked the design teams in India and China.
