The Value of UX

Tushar Deshmukh

Tushar, a leading UX advocate in India, stresses the importance of ethical UX, especially in the age of AI. He warns that without proper human-centered practices rooted in research, accessibility, and usability products risk failing, regardless of how advanced the tools are. He urges designers to go beyond superficial trends, return to foundational principles, and integrate accessibility from the start. For him, the value of UX lies in delivering real ROI: satisfied clients, repeat business, and sustainable growth. A mature, ethics-driven UX approach not only boosts revenue but also builds trust, loyalty, and long-term success.

Key sentence:”UX delivers real ROI by satisfying users, driving repeat business, and ensuring products are built ethically for everyone.”
