Product Designer openings are currently active in Nagpur, based on-site at MIHAN, for a full-time role paying up to ₹75,500 a month. This is one of several product designer job openings in Nagpur right now, and it sits within the UI/UX Design function, reporting to a product team that ships and iterates on digital products for an active user base rather than working purely on internal tools.
The work centers on turning fuzzy product problems into interfaces people can actually use. That means spending real time with wireframes and clickable prototypes before anything reaches a developer, and treating early sketches as disposable rather than precious. A good chunk of the week goes into talking to users directly, watching how they actually move through a flow instead of how the team assumes they will, and then feeding what's learned back into the next iteration. On a smaller team like this one, a designer's decisions tend to reach production faster than they would in a place with more layers of sign-off, which cuts both ways: less waiting around, but also less room to hide behind process if a decision turns out wrong.
What you'll be doing
Day-to-day, the role covers:
- Building wireframes and interactive prototypes for new and existing product features
- Running user research sessions and translating findings into concrete design changes
- Revising designs based on usability feedback, stakeholder input, and analytics
- Working alongside developers through implementation to keep the shipped product aligned with the design intent
- Maintaining consistency across screens by working within, and occasionally extending, the existing design system
Some weeks are mostly research and discovery. Others are heads-down execution against a release deadline, with developers pinging for spec clarifications mid-sprint. Both are part of the job. Handoff quality matters more here than in places with a dedicated design-ops function; a prototype that isn't annotated clearly enough for an engineer to build from without follow-up questions ends up costing the whole team time later in the sprint.
What you'll bring
A bachelor's degree is the baseline expectation for this role, generally in design, human-computer interaction, or a closely related field. Candidates coming from a different academic background but with a solid, demonstrable design portfolio are still worth considering; the degree requirement is about foundation, not a rigid filter.
On the experience side, the role calls for 24 months of relevant design work. That's roughly two full product cycles' worth of exposure to shipping real features, not just coursework or personal projects. Candidates coming out of a design bootcamp with strong freelance or agency experience spanning the same period are welcome to apply, even without a traditional in-house title on their resume.
These are the core skills the role requires.
- User research methods, including interviews and usability testing
- Prototyping, from low-fidelity wireframes through to interactive, near-final mockups
- Working knowledge of design systems and component-based design
- Visual design fundamentals: typography, layout, color, and hierarchy
A few things aren't required but would count in a candidate's favor.
- Basic familiarity with HTML/CSS, enough to have informed conversations with engineers about feasibility
- Exposure to accessibility standards such as WCAG
- Prior experience contributing to or auditing a formal design system, rather than just consuming one
Team and workplace
This is an on-site role at MIHAN, which has grown into one of Nagpur's more active clusters for IT and product companies over the past several years, so the design team here isn't working in isolation from the broader local tech scene. Naukri Mitra lists this opening as part of a broader set of design and product roles from the same corridor, and candidates comparing options locally will find a reasonable amount of similar hiring activity nearby. Several established IT employers in the same MIHAN campus area have design teams of comparable size, which makes it easier to move between companies later in a career without leaving the city.
The team runs on frequent, informal check-ins rather than heavy documentation. Designers here are expected to defend their decisions verbally in a room, not just in a Figma comment thread, and stand-ups tend to run longer than the usual fifteen minutes when a design review is on the agenda. It's a small enough group that a new hire's work becomes visible quickly, for better or worse.
Because the role is on-site, relocation assistance and accommodation support are typically provided to candidates relocating from outside Nagpur, in addition to the standard benefits. Local commute times from most residential areas in the city to MIHAN are between 30 and 50 minutes, depending on traffic, which is worth factoring in for anyone weighing this against a fully remote alternative.
Growth path
Most designers in this seat move toward either a senior individual contributor track, taking on more ambiguous zero-to-one projects, or a design lead track that adds mentoring and cross-team coordination on top of hands-on work. Which path fits better usually becomes clear within the first year, once it's obvious whether someone gets more energy from solving one hard interface problem deeply or from helping four other designers solve theirs.
Compensation and benefits
The role pays up to ₹75,500 per month, which is competitive for a product designer salary in Nagpur, given the required experience level and the growing concentration of design roles in the MIHAN area specifically. Actual offers within that band depend on how closely a candidate's portfolio and experience map to the responsibilities above, so a stronger match generally lands closer to the top of the range. Beyond base pay:
- Health insurance coverage
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Nagpur
- Accommodation support during the initial transition period
How to apply
To apply, send a portfolio link alongside the resume, showing actual shipped or near-shipped work rather than concept pieces only. Case studies that walk through the reasoning behind a design decision, and not just the final screens, tend to stand out more than a polished but thin portfolio. It helps to include at least one project where the first version didn't work and explain what changed after user feedback; that's often more telling than the final polished screens themselves.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates can expect an initial screening call, typically 30 minutes, followed by a portfolio review with the design lead and a brief working session on a sample problem. Candidates currently based outside Nagpur should include their expected relocation timeline in their application so the hiring team can schedule interviews accordingly.
