This is part II of my conversation with Vikram. In my previous conversation with him - Vikram mentioned a few things about Entrepreneurship that caught my attention. I requested him for another conversation which is how this podcast came about. There are multiple aspects of this conversation which is fascinating to me e.g. how we think of design as UI is good but there's a deeper aspect to design or the comment around in-order for you to be better off than your cohort - you'll have to be worse off than your cohort for a long time. Also - if you watch the video version on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQV2gsCh-54) you'll see smart lights are not very smart at all - and if any of you who are watching have a way to make smart lights smarter please do.

Design thinking is a term used to represent a set of cognitive, strategic and practical processes by which design concepts (proposals for products, buildings, machines, communications, etc.) are developed. Many of the key concepts and aspects of design thinking have been identified through studies, across different design domains, of design cognition and design activity in both laboratory and natural contexts. An iterative, non-linear process of understanding users, challenging assumptions, redefining problems, and creating innovative solutions to prototype and test is called design thinking.

A company that my 10 year old niece keeps talking about is Roblox. She says "It's the Best!!!!!" - she also has dedicated time negotiated with her parents to play it twice a week. She tells me the next time we meet - she would teach me to play it and then we should log in at the same time to play it together. Listen to this short podcast to learn what Roblox is. Roblox is set to generate and unleash a lot of creativity in the sense that it is like the Google play store/Apple app-store model where anyone could design a game or parts of it as against a software company model like the current game developers are employees of a company. The advantage that Roblox has is that it is the sum total of all the creativity of all it's contributors as against a select few developers. Think of Wikipedia v/s traditional encyclopedias.
