Design Thinking for Startups

Design Thinking has become an innovation enthusiast’s jargon. This methodology is being used by corporates and startups alike to structure & de-risk their innovative product/services designed to solve a problem. Inspired by success stories of ‘once startups’ Uber, Airbnb and Facebook, companies today are increasingly looking to Design Thinking for their answers.

But what exactly is Design Thinking?

Design Thinking is a way to solve problems that result in solutions that people love - problems that are actually worth solving. It is achieved by close and empathetic observation of customers that you wish to help. If done right it can help improve the success rate of startups. By embracing it one can fail faster and know exactly what’s not working with the product/service from the consumers’ perspective.

This session by Mr Girish Nair will be a hands-on workshop for you to learn the design thinking process and its use to rapidly prototype your next innovative business idea. Anyone can be a part of this workshop, you don’t need to be a design thinker or creative guy to attend this workshop. Our Speaker, Girish will be focusing on solving a customer’s problem, building a business idea and turning it into a product for customers. After the workshop ends you will walk away with a clear methodology for how to innovate and apply design thinking to your own business/profession/startup.
