Designing a medical OTT platform that makes learning seamless for busy doctors.

Designing a medical OTT platform that makes learning seamless for busy doctors.

Matchmakers is a mobile-first digital platform that connects match-seekers with verified local matchmakers, helping people find life partners in a way that respects Indian traditions while using modern digital tools.


Unlike typical matrimony apps, Matchmakers does not replace human matchmakers — it empowers them digitally, creating a hybrid system that blends offline cultural practices with online convenience, transparency, and trust.


I worked on this project from concept to high-fidelity prototype, collaborating closely with stakeholders and playing a key role in shaping both the UX and the visual identity of the product.

Product Perspective

Docflix needed to:


  • Compete with YouTube, journals, webinars, and other learning tools

  • Convince doctors to adopt a new platform

  • Position itself as scientific, reliable, and premium rather than commercial

  • Balance “OTT-style engagement” with “medical credibility”


Core tension:


How do you make medical learning feel engaging like Netflix, but trustworthy like a journal?

Key Learnings

Key Learnings

Design must shape user behavior and outcomes, not just visual interfaces. In healthcare products, credibility and trust are core design considerations. Expert users require efficiency, clarity, and structured experiences over aesthetics. Content strategy and experience design are deeply interdependent in video platforms. Strong products align real user value with scalable business impact.
