Empower people and organisations to thrive in a vuca world using Design Thinking
In 1965, the average tenure of companies on S&P 500 was 33 years. By 1990, it had come down to 20; by 2026, the forecast is 14 years! This is just one manifestation of the VUCA environment. In parallel, the experience economy is growing. As goods and services get commoditized, experiences are emerging as the new source for competitive advantage- not only in entertainment or consumer industries, but everywhere from enterprise technology solutions to social impact and public policy. Such an environment demands organizations to constantly learn about their users, be imaginative with their solutions and agile in their response mechanisms. We are working to enable this transformation.

Deep Empathy
Ain’t no innovation without real curiosity- about users and their ecosystem. Our research, therefore, is an adaptive blend of approaches like ethnography, system modelling and data mining.

Radical Collaboration
Wonder what happens if a lawyer, a techie and a designer are churned together? Or closer home, your CFT! There is immense power in co-creation and we are experts in making that happen!

Smart Experimentation
Is there a sweet spot between ‘Avoid risk, Avoid innovation’ and ‘Fail and Face setback’? Smart Experiments- designed to test ideas, with minimal investment and faster time-to-market.
