Invited to deliver a talk in Bangalore at GIDS: Great Indian Developer Summit. The title: 'What Every Developer Must Know About User-Interface Design and UX’. The event was held at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

As I started speaking, the room started filling. Within minutes, all the seats were taken. People kept pouring in. Soon some were seated on the floor. Others crowded the aisles. In another few minutes even the corridor leading to the room was filled with people. What an experience! I was besieged with questions and chats once the talk finished, and within no time the seats to my Design workshop to be held the next day was sold out to max capacity! Bangalore!

GIDS talk on 22 April 2015.
