About

Accountable for the whole picture, at every scale.

The case for handing a whole engagement to one person, and what that person has been accountable for before.

Background

Arohan is run by Harsh. His background is product ownership and systems analysis on government and enterprise platforms: the kind with large user bases, regulators paying attention, and real consequences when something goes wrong.

That is an unusual route into websites and brand work, and it is the whole argument for handing the job to one person. Someone who has answered for security, compliance and performance at that scale does not need a department behind them to be accountable for yours. The scale changes. The standard does not.

A computer science degree from Brock University sits behind that, along with certifications as a Certified Scrum Product Owner, a ServiceNow system administrator, and in Azure fundamentals. Outside the work, Harsh is part of the BAPS North America IT team and has been a Sevak, a volunteer, for most of his life.

Principles

How the work gets done.

01

One person, whole picture

Design, build, security and handover by the same person. Nothing is lost between departments because there are no departments.

02

Structure before decoration

A systems-analyst approach: understand what the business needs the site or the brochure to do, then design the thing that does it.

03

Nothing invented

No fabricated clients, testimonials or numbers. Real work is shown as case studies. Concept work is labelled as concept work.

04

Built to last

Stable, well-understood tools over whatever is fashionable this quarter. Your site should still work, and still be maintainable, years from now.

The name

What Arohan means.

The name is not decoration. It describes the order the work follows.

A root that means to climb.

Arohan comes from Sanskrit, built on the root ā-ruh: to mount, to climb. Hindi renders the word Arohan. It describes the act of going up rather than the place you arrive at.
