Learn how Service Design can help you launch successful products that meet customer needs.

The question every start-up grapples with is ‘’If We Build It Will They (Customers) Come?‘’ A failed attempt made a start-up wary to invest in a new offering. Using Service Design, we helped them figure out what the market really wants to buy. We help them cut through expensive market research, test and validate the market opportunity, and release a far more mature solution well received by customers and set them on the growth path.


In this talk, learn how an Indian FinTech company:


  1. Moved from failure at the B2C market to 2.8 million loyal B2B customers in less than 3 years
  2. Built a B2B product that helps customers get a ROI within less than 4 months of implementation
  3. Validated the market opportunity, built a solution customers wanted, and secured $25 million funding from angel investors

This event will take place on Zoom.
