‘Howdy’ people!

A friend once told me that ‘Do what you love’ is a overrated quote but rather 'Learn to make money from what you love’ is more holistic one. Have always pondered around it. Here is a story of Niranjan who stands true to the quote by converting his passion into a cup of tea ☕

Design for Bharat - A workshop on Trust & awareness
D91 Labs, Facebook / TTC Labs and Parallel Labs organised a closed group workshop for fintechs in Bangalore to come together to solve for some of the promising opportunity statements for Bharat. We had more than 50 participants from Razorpay, PhonePe, Scripbox, Zestmoney, Cleartax, Smallcase, Flipkart and Facebook.
The participants were divided into teams consisting of designers, product managers, researchers and public policy experts to brainstorm on common challenges faced by fintech in India. The problem statements were enriched with our field research from ‘Decoding Bharat’ series.
The workshop was loved by all the participants and we were showered with well wishes and we look forward to organise more of this format. The work from the workshop will soon be published on D91 labs and TTC labs website.
Thats all of us :)
