There’s a rebel in all of us!
by Parul Vahanvati | Feb 15, 2024
It’s an ever-present voice telling us to question things, break complacency, and push our boundaries. Sometimes we listen to it, and sometimes we don’t. Every voice of rebellion is different. While some disrupt the game, some bend the rules. While some roar, some persist in silence. Each one has a...

It’s all about culture!
by Mehek Advani | Feb 11, 2024
Team building events often form the cornerstone of a company’s cultural design, conducted with the utmost rigor, and revered as the ultimate display of a team’s close-knittedness. But after so many years of events (being in both attending and planning roles) and after building a successful remote...

We are living through a tech-led inflection point, yet again!
by Mooshir Vahanvati | Feb 8, 2024
Technology has been ubiquitous in our lives, fueling innovations and reshaping industries. But today I wanted to talk about something close to my heart - the democratization of digital creation.

by Mooshir Vahanvati | Jan 10, 2024
I first encountered kinetic sculptures by chance at an art museum, and it was a moment of revelation. A realization that sculptures could move… so splendidly!

When you see a kid master a smartphone - watching videos, skipping ads, video calling grandparents - is it because the kid is clever or the UI is intuitive? Sorry parents, but in most cases, it’s the latter. That said, please don’t leave your kids unattended with phones. Today, we have...

Being people-first
by Parul Vahanvati | Dec 15, 2023
It’s not easy being people-first in the tech industry, but I have always been a ‘follow your heart’ person. I don't come from a corporate background, I am and will always be a designer at heart. That allows me to bring a non-corporate point of view to business decisions. Some might say that it...

Not every day is a mountain climb.
by Mehek Advani | Nov 15, 2023
Some days, it’s a hike through the woods. Having worked in multiple industries, I've had my fair share of exciting challenges and groundbreaking innovations. And like most people, I love those periods of significant changes and venturing into unknown terrains. However, there are moments in our...
