My Work
SOCIAL SOUND
Social Sound reimagined navigation by turning headphones into a sonic GPS. Built as part of Schweppes’ Born Social campaign, the experience guided people through city streets using 360° spatial audio, leading them to a hidden live music event—no maps, no visuals, just sound.
MARVEL'S EPIC BATTLE
This was a Coca-Cola x Marvel WebAR campaign where users scan a QR code on a Coke can to launch an in-browser AR experience. After scanning, a Marvel character appears in AR, and users can interact, collect characters, and track progress via a connected dashboard/experience flow.
MEMORY MAKER
We built a mobile-first, template-driven creation experience embedded inside Coca-Cola’s 1XP hub, enabling consumers to upload/record photos & videos, generate a personalized “memory” video, and share it natively.
STAR WARS - SOLO
This was a Coca-Cola x Star Wars WebAR campaign (“Project SOLO”) where users scan a QR code or tap a link to launch an in-browser experience, pick a Star Wars archetype, record a short message, and see their face mapped onto a 3D hologram that can be placed in AR and shared with friends.
CUSTOMISED D2C CANS
This was a Share A Coke (SAC) project. In this, we built a mobile-first D2C personalization journey that lets consumers create a custom Coke can by selecting the product, entering a short name / preset text, and seeing a live preview render before purchase or kiosk pickup.
About Me
Welcome to my corner of the digital world! I’m Dishank Adhikari, and I build products for a living.
Over the last 9+ years, I’ve worked across B2B and B2C SaaS, along with emerging tech like XR, AI, and ML. I enjoy the full journey—understanding the problem, working closely with design and engineering, shipping the product, and then improving it using real user feedback and data.
A lot of my work has been about blending technology with real-world use—things people can actually see, try, and use. That’s why I spend a lot of time with customers to understand what’s worth solving.
I’ve also been part of fast launches, high-stakes stakeholder demos, startup investor moments, and other high-pressure situations where the product simply has to work at its best.
When I’m not building products, you’ll usually find me on long rides, playing cricket, or reading a good self-help book.
I also enjoy public speaking and often host sessions, give guest lectures, join panels, and speak about new technologies. If you’re hiring, want to collaborate, or need a speaker for a session, feel free to reach out.

TESTIMONIALS
I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Dishank. He completely surprised me from the start. His visionary mindset for acquiring technical knowledge and his ability to engage with investors & VR visionaries allowed him to take initiative demanded by the products. His aptitude for technical knowledge and technology itself, his ability to listen, and his quick wit made him a valuable asset to our team.

Dishank Adhikari’s data analysis and problem-solving skills are praiseworthy. He is always eager to learn something new no matter what. He is a number-driven, step-by-step planning individual and his positive & drilling-down approach to a problem is very commendable. Whether it's a website security issue, a discussion about a product's features, or an analytics problem, he is always the go-to person for us.
