Books signed, stories shared—Unconference24 left its mark! Unconference24 was an incredible experience, bringing together over 400 founders, product and tech leaders, and budding entrepreneurs. At The Product Folks, we wanted this gathering to be as insightful and memorable as possible—and it was a privilege to host two inspiring authors who shared their work with our community. One of the highlights was the author meet-and-greet session, where two incredible authors of two brilliantly written books, Prof. Mukesh Sud and Nagaraja (Naga) Prakasam, shared their inspiring journeys and signed copies of their books. 📚 Author Spotlights at Unconference24 Prof. Mukesh Sud’s – Leapfrog: Six Practices to Thrive at Work - Delivers actionable strategies for career growth in today’s workplace. - Reunion moment: Met former students from his IIM Ahmedabad sessions—joyful exchanges, photos, and signed books. - Discussed attendees' favorite book insights and shared his inspiration behind the writing process. - Highly recommended for anyone aiming to make impactful career changes. Nagaraja (Naga) Prakasam’s – Back to Bharat: In Search of a Sustainable Future - Paints a compelling vision for sustainable growth through stories of 150+ Indian entrepreneurs. - Five-year journey of gathering inspiring, real-world stories of resilience and sustainability. - Emphasized the need for India’s journey “back to Bharat” for a greener future. - Deeply engaged with attendees, discussing how each entrepreneur contributes to a resilient India. All the guests enjoyed the conversations with authors as the books directly impact their how to build products. Special thanks to Mukesh & Nagaraja for being very candid & giving everyone time & useful insights. In case you haven't checked out, do checkout their books & give it a read. Both the books are really valuable. #Unconference24 #ProductCommunity #LeapFrog #BackToBharat #SustainableFuture #Entrepreneurship #Books

Let your 'insanity' lead- Naveen Tewari’s take on entrepreneurship Naveen Tewari’s session at Unconference ’24 was filled with Insights on how he built two unicorns in India where building and scaling one unicorn takes a lifetime for many. InMobi’s Growth Trajectory: - Target Valuation: Eyeing an estimated valuation of $10 billion in its anticipated 2025 IPO. - FY23 Revenue: $41 million - Glance by InMobi: Engages 235 million active users on Glance lock screens worldwide. He shared insights into scaling InMobi and Glance blending ambitious global goals with genuine local impact. But perhaps what stood out most was his take on leadership and the role of what he calls “insanity” in driving big ideas forward. Naveen covered a range of topics, from the latest industry trends to how AI is going to reshape the industry in coming years. But his message about embracing your unique spark really resonated: hold onto your “insanity” because that’s what drives big ideas. In his words, “You don't delegate insanity to someone else and say, 'Oh, you're a product manager, so you have to be insane like me, right?' It doesn't work that way. You have to keep the insanity to yourself & you have to keep the ability to be crazy to yourself.” This clearly means some of the wildest, most ambitious parts of building products come from your heart—and only you can bring them to life. His approach reminded us that some of the most daring and impactful ideas come from within—and they’re often things only you can manifest. A huge shoutout to our amazing partners - Mixpanel, Stream, VWO, Bureau, Figma, Cashfree Payments, Contentsquare, OTPLESS, CleverTap, Locomo.io, Segwise.ai, Infinyte Club, Vahan.ai, Plotline, Introbot AI, Parallel, Bombay Locale®, Indian Financial Forum, Urban Platter, Sockscarving, Lamhenow, Multipl, FUELL —Your support made this day possible! Thank you to Navin Madhavan for moderating such an unforgettable session. Hopefully, everyone left not just with fresh insights but a renewed drive to let their own “crazy side” lead the way!

Why do we keep coming back to apps, driven by little rewards and goals? ✨ Imagine the thrill of keeping up your Duolingo streak, closing those Apple Fitness rings, or grabbing that free coffee at Starbucks. These routines aren’t just habits—they’re built on clever design that taps into our love for play and progress. Welcome to the world of gamification, where strategies transform everyday interactions into engaging, rewarding experiences. So, why are top tech companies betting big on gamification? Because it works. Gamification turns routine tasks into enjoyable challenges, fostering loyalty and nudging behavior. When users feel rewarded—whether with points, badges, or exclusive perks—they’re more likely to keep coming back. It's a competitive edge, especially in a crowded market. 🔍 Consider these standout examples: Starbucks rewards purchases with “Stars” in a loyalty program that keeps customers coming back. Duolingo celebrates learning milestones with badges, encouraging users to stay committed. Tesla rewards referrals, turning loyal buyers into enthusiastic brand advocates. Google Fit tracks fitness goals with progress bars, motivating people to stay active. Nike engages users through quests and challenges, fostering community and healthy competition. Women In Product is excited to have collaborated with Product Talk with Malti: In the latest episode, Malthi SS (Product Coach), WIP’s long-term mentor, chats with our WIP member Vaishnavi Devi, product design expert, who breaks down winning gamification strategies and reveals why some miss the mark. With a background in storytelling and engagement from her early days as an RJ 🎙️, Vaishnavi Devi shares lessons from behavioral frameworks and real-world examples that show why gamification works—or doesn’t. WIP has long seen members collaborating and partnering with each other for many prospects and many have turned mentors also for each other. This is one such shining example of two WIP mentors Malthi SS (Product Coach) and Vaishnavi Devi catching up on a podcast episode on all things gamification. Whether you're in product management, design, or just fascinated by how tech keeps us hooked, this episode has something for you. Discover the true psychology behind gamification and learn how to apply these insights in your own journey. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dsznAdG7
