I had a great time at the inaugural edition of Ignite Mumbai which was held at Cafe Goa yesterday. For those who don’t know, Ignite is a stage where people wanting to get across their ideas have five minutes to do so. The kicker is the strict time limit and the automatic slide transitions. The talks could be on any topic under the sun and a fair amount of them end up being hilariously funny as well. All in all, it can be an intense short session where you can be exposed to as many ideas in a short while as possible. I kind of liked this format as it lets you soak in nuggets of information and ideas in a short focused time as opposed to the longer format of say a TED. (more…)
