Great ideas arise, with no takers. Great products are made, with no adoption. There have been some truly spectacular products that have failed, spectacularly.
Why? Because their entire ecosystem wasn't considered.
Swachh Bharat movement doesn’t end with just building toilets. It'll work only if the people embrace it. Similarly a product doesn't succeed by just building an awesome piece of software. It's only when the customers adopt it. Hence for a product to thrive, its entire ecosystem needs to be considered.
Thus our theme - ‘Think whole solution, not just software’.
Come be part of Converge, that aims to bring together people like you, who are passionate about learning current trends in the market, sharing your views and ideas, and networking with industry experts.
