The problem

Small screens in the order flow carry big money: how cash on delivery is offered, whether buyers leave a rating, and what they see after paying all shape revenue across every Nykaa app.

What I did

  • Work on the Payments SDK that every Nykaa and Nike India app depends on.
  • Revamped the COD widget to steer orders away from costly cash on delivery.
  • Redesigned the Rate & Review page to make leaving a rating easier.
  • Rebuilt the Order Confirmation page to surface relevant products right after purchase.
  • Shipped sale-critical features every quarter for Nykaa’s biggest traffic events.

Outcome

  • 80% reduction in cash burn from the COD widget revamp.
  • 7% increase in rating submission rate.
  • 7% increase in cross-selling from the Order Confirmation page.
