Does Design Thinking and South Indian kitchen’s idli batter have a connection?
A definite yes!
The person who conceptualised the batter to make tiffin recipes must have been a great Design Thinker!
By mixing lentils and rice in the 1/3 and 2/3 proportions, one has a batter that can be used to make three recipes – idli, dosa and uthappam on subsequent days. This not only saves time for food preparation but is healthy as well with its protein and carbohydrate content.
Design Thinking is present in how we have designed our lives both consciously and subconsciously.
“Design Thinking for businesses is an extension of day- to-day living.” This article appeared in Smart CEO, post the Leadership Unplugged event and it rightly captures the need for Design Thinking.
