However, over the past two days, I’ve seen several posts celebrating this ad’s success, yet there’s no mention of the illustrator or visual designer who brought it to life. For a design-driven company like Flipkart, recognizing these contributors should be a standard. Designers work through countless iterations and extra hours, and celebrating their efforts alongside others fosters true inclusivity and collaboration.”
