1. Met some really interesting folks and had a great time catching up. Yet, I could not meet up with many other individuals I had hoped to!

2. Got a chance to team up with a few creative minds and participate in hands-on workshops by Merkle, Atlassian, and IBM. Apart from the workshops themselves, I also loved how each workshop had its own unique, distinct style of hosting!

3. All the keynotes were top-notch. Particularly enjoyed the keynote by Siva Sabaretnam & Kate Moran. Siva spoke about the role of product design in the next decade of change, especially for the designers right here in India with a thriving startup scene💡! Kate shared a perspective on treating AI as an intern. I’m definitely keeping an eye on the career progression of Ari, the AI intern. Who knows, might be our future CEO one day... 🙂

4. Attended quite a few inspiring Ted-like talks. My favourites were by Vivek Raju, and Sarah Gibbons. Vivek practiced what he preached. He spoke about storytelling, using storytelling. Whenever I will eat a burger now, it'll remind me of stories 🍔! I also strongly resonated with Sarah's thoughts on how 'Taste and Discernment' are becoming a differentiator in today's AI era. Will designers get away from designing screens and design constraints for these intelligent AI tools!? 🤔

5. I also had the opportunity to speak at this year's conference and share what we’ve been building at Cashfree Payments. Bringing #RiskShield to the forefront and talking about the 'Proactive UX' approach in fraud prevention was such a rewarding experience! Sharing a few pictures from the talk 🎤

Thank you Kaladhar Bapu, Ranjeet Tayi, Shree Ransubhe, Jabeen Shaistha and the entire UXI team for bringing together this epic community of over 3000+ designers onto India's largest UX stage! 🎉
