Design@SAIF - Issue #23

Recovering from the happy buzz of the 2016 Sequoia Hackathon and Designathon while stumbling upon the news that a box now represents Snapdeal (while a bag represents Flipkart) and Amazon refuses to be 'contained'!

Push notifications, analog design, prototyping and content writing; thought pieces and step-by-step tutorials and great insight on selling your idea—this week's newsletter is as varied as it gets!

Until next week,
