This post is completely personally experience, which proved Design Thinking or the creative process that helps you design meaningful solutions in day to day life can make things wonderful in life.
Design thinking is a practical approach to solve a problem in a more creative, with the intent of an improved future result. In this scenarios, we had to tell our end user the interviewer about our problem as well as highlight the social issue in a more fun way as well as showcase Ananth's analyzing capacity, since it was achievable though data visualization it can be regarded it is a form of solution-based, or solution-focused thinking. This approach differs from the analytical scientific method, which begins with thoroughly defining all the parameters of the problem in order to create a solution. Design thinking identifies and investigates with both known and un-known aspects of the current situation.
I wish more people could adopt "Design Thinking" in day to day life time in offices, homes, society and make the world a better place to live

Criteria's in which SaaS teams are evaluated in VC tableGokul Rangarajan
Why is your past experience of being in a company alone will not matter for a startup fundraising strategy?
The "Startup Founding Team" is one of the characteristics that early-stage founders frequently ignore while also being one that VCs frequently thoroughly scrutinize. Surprisingly, data from Pitchworks of 100+ SaaS startups with whom we worked in the last five years clearly demonstrates that more than 80% believe that having a big idea and vision is sufficient to secure funding from a VC or an angel investor.
We have already seen how 90% of early-stage VC evaluates a startup
The Market & Time to Market
The Founding Team
Revenue / Product Market Fit
Business model
Ideal & Big Vision
The correct idea and the appropriate vision won't make any difference in your pitch until you have the right time, the right market, a fantastic founding team, and of course, PMF backing it. If you take a closer look at the aforementioned criteria, the founder's mindset and ability to turn the tables for the VC have both been demonstrated in a number of situations, and venture capital data support these observations.

The Art of “UX Street Play”
Convincing the business owners to adapt User Research in effective way
Resistance for User Research in Product Teams
UX /UI designers responsibility is always considered to a process of making the interface look good or making it usable. But for building great products will require a UX designer and product owner talking to user, shadowing them Identifying their need and problem patterns across user segments and making them into requirements. In other words the designer has to be in a position where he co-create a requirement or a user story based on user needs and not assumptions or feature request from some random person. Designer need to having an holistic understanding of the product which actually paves way to a software which actually talks to a customer by itself.
Even if the business ideology is stubborn, i strongly believe its responsibility of “UX” designer to talk in the language of the business and convince of the process owners which is going to benefit them actually good for the business as well as the users. So the business resistance towards a ideology may not changer over so you have to consistently put effort ton your side using various tools to make theme believe this is good for them .
How do one convince them of all the above factors in a more effective and entertaining way ?
