Design Your Edge: T-Hub × School of Design Innovation, Mahindra University
About Event
Great products don't win on technology alone. Design is often what makes customers choose them.
T-Hub is partnering with the School of Design Innovation (SDI), Mahindra University to bring early-stage startups a 6-week Design Sprint, free of cost. A team of B.Des design students will work with your startup, guided by experienced SDI faculty.
This mixer is where it begins. Meet the SDI Dean and faculty, see what their designers have already built with startups and innovators, and find out where design can help your product most.
