Within no time now we are getting into the main session. Now it. Just give me a second. Just give me a second. In no time now we are getting into the main. Okay, super. So YouTube Live is ready now. Wonderful guys. Thank you so much for coming here. I just want to tell you that every single week there has been a very different momentum which we are having. Thank you so much for coming into this open house. Let me tell you what is this open house all about? It's a short 15 to 20 minutes live Zoom call and which is also broadcasted in our YouTube channel so that all the public and people can watch. More importantly, this is also a call for celebrating our community wins. And also I'll give you a very small activity where you are definitely getting a little bit of creative creativity into it and also putting your thought process and bringing some innovation around it. Okay. It's not a very big activity where we will do it for harvest, but this can bring a lot of what do you call a small, small breakthroughs inside your every day to day life as a designer. The third objective is there are many people who are also not part of our community. So let them also get this kind of a value. Whoever is following our YouTube channel, Instagram or wherever, they can also get this notification they can watch. Okay? So thank you so much. I just want to tell you that this is the main code of honor and then I will tell you what exactly is this episode all about? Okay, so the goal is kindly there is no self promotion even many people are chatting in their WhatsApp, chatting in the YouTube live as well. So please do keep it in that way only relating to design as a communication and more importantly if you have any feedbacks, if it can be improved, we are all really, really your ears and you can give us the feedback will work and we'll also celebrate the winners for the week. And more importantly, according to calendar, this will happen only on every Friday 8pm 15 to 20 minutes. First episode we saw different concept. Second episode we saw hot seat and as well as we saw circles. So third episode what we're going to see is called combination. This activity pretty much some of the people must have done it but this is a little quite intensive activity. Those of you are very new members in this community, definitely you will have this, what do you call, you will be excited to do this. Okay, so what does mean by combination? So I'm going to be showing you an instruction. Just listen very carefully what I'm going to show you. Okay, so observe what I'm going To say you got to choose any one product each and every one of you from your daily life or from your imagination. We will break you into room of two members, not more than that. Okay? Just in case, if your team has three members, then you'll have to do something else. What you need to do is you got to mix and create one product combining the best part of the both products. Okay? Actually there is a spelling mistake here. Leave that. Okay, fine. You got to create the best of this two product. Super Activity is very simple. If you're someone who is actually single, maybe in your room there is only single member.
Or.
Or if you're watching in YouTube live, if you're single, do not worry. Just take any one more product of your own assumption. But you got to mix that two product and bring something massive. I'll give you an example. Like let's say you can take wall mirror, you can take Calendar app. These are all both significantly very, very different. What do you call products, right? But how do you combine these two? Now I will give you an example. Like let's say you can build a mirror which can also pop up the daily calendar for you. Superb. That's also one idea. And also you can build a physical calendar through which you can also see like a mirror. The two things are possible, right? Or not. So either you can think about the way of physical as well as digital or both digital or something which is common. But the end of the day you have to integrate this product and write it down as an idea if time permits. If you're really super in using Chat, GPT or Ideogram. You know a tool Ideogram, Ideo. Okay. Or you can use Google, AI Studio or Gemini or Nanobarana, whatever and bring a super image. Let me see how this room is more creative about. Okay, Superb. Your time starts now. I'll give you exactly one minute so that everybody can pick one product. One minute. Go ahead. One product. Okay, we'll break out into rooms. Wait, wait. Okay, we'll break you into rooms. Not a problem. Superb.
Yes, yes, yes.
Think about it. Think about it.
Yes, yes, yes.
Anyone product.
Yes.
30 seconds. Amazing product you take. Okay, those of you on the YouTube live, we are really sorry. You have to take your own other product as well. Because you have to definitely mix those two and bring the innovation out of it. Okay, ready? Okay. Now last 10 seconds is there. We are going to break out you into rooms. Now you will be definitely getting that option. And if you are coming as a one person, okay, please do accept and start Working. That's it. Okay. If you had one more member, like let's say three, just in case, try to add that particular person also and bring something even more cumulative. Let us see that. Okay. As of now, we are trying to put you in one or two that will be better, I believe. Okay, your time starts now. All of you, go ahead. Go ahead, jump to your room. I'll give you exactly five minutes, come back with an extraordinary idea and present it to the community. Your time starts now. Okay, I'm going to be playing the.
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, okay, Okay. I think all of the people. Superb, guys. Wonderful, wonderful. Think about it. Take one product, the other product, mix two. How can you combine? Give it a thought. Okay, I'm gonna switch on the timer here for exactly five minutes so that we are all on track. Time starts now. Superb. And for all the people who are in the breakout, exactly the five minutes starts now. So think something very crazy innovative. And those of you are super speed. Please pick that idea along with your partner and put it into ChatGPT or IdeaGram or, or Google AI Studio or Nano Banana and bring stunning visual for the people to communicate. Because you are a designer means your communication should be very clear. What are you really thinking? Okay. Your imagination and your output should not be different. Superb. 4 minutes, 30 seconds left. Do it fast. You can bring magic in four and a half minutes. Don't waste time. People are watching YouTube live. Okay, I just want to tell you that all of you are doing it, I guess. Superb, Superb. Amazing, Amazing. Four minutes. Good, good. It will be definitely uncomfortable. I'll tell you why. We are not used to think like this. Okay? Suddenly, if you are forcing your brain to think in this particular pattern, there will be a new pathways which your mind will start thinking. Which is called connecting the different different neurons, connecting the different, different meanings, connecting the different different objects and memories and things and products which you saw years back, months back, weeks back, days back. Okay? While that memory comes and hits, you will find a very good use case for that. Once you start creating this flow of information, then you will have a bingo. Like one product idea will come. Oh wow. This two can combine integrate for second, third. So you will have multiple uses. Okay? You will have multiple use cases for it. Then you'll be really surprised. So why are we doing this activity anyway? I'm going to be telling you once people are back, but just in case. Okay? So why are we doing this activity? All of the people? This is to change our neural pathways inside our brain to think flow with whatever is available. Okay. Because many times we will not have much resources. So we'll have to just use whatever is there and bring the best use case out of it. Right? That's the ideology and agenda behind this. So think through and get the best and come back. And if you do it every single day, it becomes a habit pattern. Okay. You have exactly two and a half minutes. Do it and come back.
It's. It.
Exactly one minute is there guys. Better get it into a AI tool and get your visualization into a new product which people are going to be just mind blown with your creative idea. Okay, one minute left. Wrap it up fast. It. But let's call all the people. Time's up. Let's call all the people. Let's close the time. I think all the people from the YouTube also must be start thinking about it. Right? So please, please comment your like let's say idea.

Happy evening sir. Actually Neha Rao was my break room partner. Breakout room partner. And we. She said she told about a window smart window with that shows time and weather. And I picked a pen.
Pen.
Pen notebook and pen.
Yeah.
Got it. Got it. Got it.
So we combined all the individual products into a single product. Which Smart. Smart weather. Smart window.
Very simple. See we cannot write anything on windows. Right? Right now we can write sketch pen but that's a very different. Like you have to go and rub everything. That's a very bad experience. But I think this is very very nice experience. Guys, please develop it as a product. Out of all the products I've seen I think this is practically doable. And also can be designed as a physical product where you can really launch it in the market as well. Superb guys. Thank you so much Deepti. And who's the other person you said?
Neha Rao, sir.
Neha Rao. Thank you so much.
Was her idea.
Beautiful. Okay guys, so now I know all of the people have idea. But I'll quickly tell you what is the science behind it. Any point of time when you're designing, okay. You will not have the entire color palettes to choose what design you want. Your customer will say we want monochrome. Your customer will say you cannot have more than 700 pixels. 720 pixels. There is no graphics. You have to only make it elementary at that point of time how your brain thinks. And he will tell. Tomorrow evening you'll have to bring the screen, build the solution UI. No colors, only 720 pixel tomorrow night. How do you think? So your. Your brain will constrain these three things and then you will only think about solutioning based on that thing. So the activity what we now did also pretty much reflects that. So you know you cannot change the partner. We cannot change the life partner also.
Right?
Many times. So you don't have option now. So you have to just use this and you will have to arm your product. How do you bring the best out of it. You cannot go and complain. Hey Deepti, why didn't you come up with marker here? Why do you come up with pen? You cannot ask that. Based on that you will have more possibilities to think in your brain. So what happens is our neurons, our neural connections always are looking for like this. Okay, I'm just exaggerating it. But this will not be exactly like this. So what happens is when you give up meaning suddenly it will catch. You have to be in that zone to actually allow your brain to think. Okay, let's say three years before. When you're thinking in that time, okay, this is how your brain was three years before. Two years before. Like I have seen it somewhere. Like I know this particular product. I have seen somewhere. Windows can be used as I have. So when you think like that, your brain will suddenly catch that pattern. Because we have stored hundreds of TBs of data inside our brain brain for years and months and weeks together. So unless until we don't spend time to really think and retrieve, we are not forcing our mind to make that connection happen. When your mind makes that connection happen, you get that feeling. Bingo. Wow. How many of you got that feel? Wow, this is superb. When I saw this also I got a wow, right? Certain people, hey, wow, this is mind blowing. This is like super. Like my brain is also now given this pathway to think. This is called connecting this different, different pathways and you're thinking more possibilities. So what happens is this is not a one time pleasurable activity. The more and more you're able to create this kind of patterns. Whatever you did is this little bit of short mastermind ways. Okay? Tomorrow we are going to have a monthly mastermind for all of our squadron members. Okay? Mastermind is nothing. Two brains coming together and the third mind is formed. Humans have become so creative and innovative only by using this technique. How many of you believe this? Nobody does in any isolation here, okay? Nothing happens in isolation. Albert Einstein went into a room, he brought something. No, Many, many ideas. He has connected, okay? Then only that particular thing happened. And then he got 14,000 different ways not how the bulb works. And the one way which how the bulb works, he got the innovation done. So this is exactly the innovation happen happens. We are not doing UX research. Research is searching one more time research. Okay. This is something totally different. What we're doing is something very unique. So I wanted you guys to resonate this and have this habit so that the more and more your neurons start flexing, you will start making connections fast for other people. It takes five minutes. But for you it takes only 30 seconds. The more and more you are able to build this as a muscle memory inside your brain. People will be little scared to talk to you. Or this guy can bring anything out of anywhere. They will be loved to put you in their brainstorming team, their ideation team. You will be definitely respected. I was called a nitro booster in our team. Like people give problems, I give like ideas. Like, because I used to do it with you guys, it's not a first time I'm doing. I do it every single time. And I also do ideas along with you. So I also start thinking more. 70 ideas per minute. Can anybody bring that? Sorry, 70 ideas in one hour. Every minute there is an idea for me. Second minute there is an idea. Third minute people will not even think. See, out of 70 ideas, we cannot take all the ideas as superb. But one or two idea will be like a bang on. Okay? So utilize this and you and your team will be excelling in your ideas. Thank you so much guys for this beautiful session. And I just wanted to conclude this session by saying practice this and build a muscle memory. And I will also announce the weekly Venice number. Okay? Have you marked the attendance? All of you confirm me. Confirm you? Have you marked that?
Yes, yes, yes.
Can we see who is going to be the winner? I will not only take based on points. Everybody knows that thing, right? Let me. Let me also see. Okay, okay, okay. There are. There are three people who are coming on the top. First is Remo. Second is Dasri. Third is Adil Nilavan. Right, right, right, right. Three members are coming considering one more point of discussion. Okay, okay, fine. I was thinking Ekta, if she would have come on points, she had also the session today morning. She's also been very active in the facilitation. She would have got this. See, now it's out of the picture because I am also looking for points and as well as the other participation. So Dasari is out of the picture because Dasari got the award two weeks back. Okay. Because we have to give for new members. Of course, if people are keep on getting apple headset, then how many headsets you will get in the home? Somebody has to really get this thing shuffled, right? So it's only narrowed down to two people now. Remo and Adeline. Okay. So Remo, are you there in this call?
Yes.
That brings down to me to only one person, none other than Remo. I'll also tell you the merits of this particular person. Remo. Remo, please, wherever you Are come on the stage. Wherever you are, come on the stage. Many people have put designer photo, he has put his family, kid, everything in the, in the profile photo. I just want to show to all the people like what Remo did and Remo call. Yeah, feel free to bring your family also in the call. And none of this would have been achieved without my family. People used to say no, but this much big award. Okay, thank you so much. Remo, I'll tell you, you got totally 18, 500 points and more importantly, you've been very active and consistent in the community. I just want to tell you the reason why. Because you've been posting consistently with your learnings in lms. Thank you so much. You also been very active in the Figma Friday session. And more importantly you are also very actively engaging in the morning sessions. Okay, so you got the points.
Thank you. Thanks so much.
And you are the true winner. And you can ask me like six months LinkedIn Premium that's available or you can ask me 100 lovable credits or if you want that particular what you call any tools you can just let me know. Okay. In fact Ankita in the last to last week winner she got, she asked me for LinkedIn I have to yet give her. So you have to let me know what exactly is your reward you want? Because that has to be very meaningful for you.
Sure, sure.
Mostly you won't be leaning LinkedIn because once you are in the squadrons, you'll be needing LinkedIn. Okay. LinkedIn you will be needing once you're in the squadron. The reason because you will be building like portfolio rapid speed. Second is you'll be making massive connections. If you're having a LinkedIn business account, you can make more than 1520 connections. You it's like 5x visibility. How many of you. Yeah, LinkedIn 5x visibility means people will come to your home and they'll pick you for the job. Great.
Actually we'll go with. Yeah, sure, yeah, we can take the decision, right?
We can go with LinkedIn.
Yeah, sure.
We'll have the OneToOne also and you decide what you want. Or you can also let me know if you need any like let's say actually chat GPT one month. The reason why I'm not giving you it's 30 days. You're. You're getting exhausted. But LinkedIn six months you can use. So you can choose what you want. Exactly. Because nowadays all the AI tools like LLM models are really smart. So you can also ask for headphones if you want Apple headset like this I don't have a good audio quality. I'm attending interview like I need a very good webcam. Webcam is like 4000 rupees. This gift you can combine with your own money and you can get. So you let me know what you want. We'll give you.
Sure, sure. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
And I just want to tell you is like I already told you like in last call. I am here in the DFC not just to go class. I. I don't like that philosophy. I tried it previously and I it couldn't. It's not working. I'm just here to see you observe you observe others. Especially my team Saturn and everyone actually. So that is where I'm learning everything. So I just want to learn the flow. I have experience but I want to learn that ui. What is that UI I just want to include in me. I love you. Sorry for telling like that.
I just want to hear it.
Actually
I missed your last point.
Yeah, I. I'm just here to observe you the way how you are going to implement. You know from last one month my wife used to keep saying that you will talk like jagdish only to me
also she used to tell me that.
Yeah, I used to tell her momentum
you mirror your mentors. That's what my Blair Singer always used to say. Like I. I'm more of like a Blair's Persona. Okay. My actual coach is a very soft guy. Like hey okay Remo, you do it fine. If it's not, let's try one more time. Okay man do it. But I'm not like that. I'm like Blair Singer you have to do it. That's it. If you're there in squadron you'll come to know. Okay. Certain people have scolded them. Certain. We are removing six people from squadron today. I've literally told Google to remove those people. So I'm like a very different person. Okay. You will also resonate with me when your Persona. My Persona is little bit mixy. So definitely this is going to be a great opportunity for also for you to learn and think like not only me, you are picking up many people's personality here. And I'll be very honest with you. Remo, right? What's your name?
At least I used to call Remo or Mohan.
You can call me.
I created this.
So I told my marketing team. Okay, exactly get people like remove Hyderabad very active. Looking for learning more. Looking for getting 3x salary. I know your user personnel. Okay. I told these people are actively Working with me, they are creating an impact. Like in the sense when you get results, what happens? Community grows only when students get results. It's not like we are creating fancy ads. That is fine. But if people come inside, if nothing is there, then they will leave, right? So I know when. When I'm seeing the people. Okay, I'll. I'll see the next three months of you very clearly. This guy is going to get results for sure. There is absolutely no doubt. Unless until he stops it because of some family reasons or personal or health challenge, people get off, then they never come back or they come late. But I can see that you are going to get really results faster.
And I just want to tell you, actually 15 days back I shifted into TCS. Actually I got a chance to jump into UI sector segment. Previously I was into development. You know, without figma, without everything. I don't know anything. Actually I backed that, you know, client round and I was into ui. Right now I'm struggling actually. But you told last week I don't have charge GPT access also. But I'm going to.
I'm doing.
Actually yesterday also I have delivered two projects, two tickets actually forward to your mo.
Amazing. Please keep that momentum. Really a good company to start with like this. In fact, I'm very happy about this. Let's. Let's. Let's discuss about this in the 1, 2. And I'm. I'm very.
I'm just missing your 1 to 1. Actually. I will do it very soon.
Please, please don't rush it. But do it properly. We'll discuss that. Let's see how your trajectory goes. Because you're coming from development now you want to jump here. So let's see how we can chart out your two, three months plan. Let's crack the code for you, okay?
Sure. Sure.
Thank you. Happy demo. And I'm very delighted guys. Not only Remo, I'm happy with all the people I could see. Dasari Karthikar used to sit like this. Okay, so all the people and now Kel Sa and Nithya, these people are also coming new. I'd like to see more people like this guys in this session. And yeah, keep this momentum up and let us know, okay? And bring more friends. This is like a free call. Everybody can come. You don't have to pay anything for this. You can just come and attend and you can have this creative burst and you can go next week we are planning something close, totally different. So these three episodes, it's all about ideation, right? We'll do something different in the next week. You will see that Friday coming on. Okay, thank you so much, all the best people. And I'll see you in the next Friday open. What do you call open house. And more importantly, if any feedbacks or something is there, please do let us know in the chat. Also, because YouTube Live, you can mention the chat if any any open feedback. We are definitely honest and hoping to improve that in the upcoming days as well. Okay. Sometimes people also say jagdish, your prices are really high. I want. That's okay, that's a price, that's a feedback for us as well. Let's see how we can work on that part because we, we would like to also hear your feedbacks. What exactly is the reason some people are not able to come inside the community? We'll try to help accordingly. Okay, so thank you guys, all the best. And tomorrow morning we have a monthly mastermind for all the people who are in the squadron. Please attend. And tomorrow 10 o' clock we have an implementation session by team 2. Please do join that and get your ideation thing blasted. And new members get ready for the one to one. And other new members who are in the silver, go for the bonus. 1, 2, 3 and get ready for the hackathon. Okay. And we'll see you on the new mission.
