Mosaic Wellness is a house of established brands, with products that cater to a diverse set of audiences. Each individual sub-brand has its own ecosystem that needs to function in a coordinated manner to meet bigger company goals. At the core of Mosaic Wellness's journey lies a pressing need to establish an integrated system that fosters seamless collaboration among designers, product managers, and tech teams across its three platforms. This arises from the company's ambition to accelerate development cycles, facilitate experimentation, and scale solutions effectively. Recognising the importance of robust internal processes, the focus shifted towards enhancing communication channels, optimising file management, clarifying handoffs, and creating a centralised repository of vital information. Mosaic Wellness received significant backing, securing $10 million in seed funding from investors including Sequoia Capital India, Elevation Capital, and Matrix Partners India, as well as notable angels like Kunal Shah, Jitendra Gupta, and Jaydeep Barman.
With a portfolio like Man Matters, Be Bodywise, and Little Joys, Mosaic Wellness has amassed a monthly user base exceeding one million, serving over 1 million consultations within the first two years with a remarkable more than 50% monthly repeat rate. Mosaic Wellness had successfully established three digital platforms catering to the needs of men, women, and children. Despite achieving substantial growth, the company faced challenges in aligning its product and design teams with this rapid expansion, highlighting the need for upskilling, team building, and process improvement.
With challenges such as, information loss, lack of creative collaboration, inefficient project management methods and missing key workflows underscored a broader issue. The central challenge addressed by the project is the lack of consistency and cohesion in design elements across the three digital platforms operated by Mosaic Wellness. This inconsistency in fonts, UI elements, and components resulted in confusion among the tech teams and posed difficulties for product managers in efficiently managing sprints.
Then arose a necessity for improved coordination, communication, and alignment across teams to ensure seamless product development and design processes that can effectively support the company's growth trajectory. The absence of a standardized design language not only hindered the development process but also affected the overall user experience and brand perception. By implementing a Design Library System (DLS), the project aimed to establish a unified and consistent design framework across all platforms, addressing these issues and enabling smoother collaboration between design, development, and product management teams.
