Really enjoyed reading this Aditi. I made me think about top down approaches to innovation and how you need on the ground real world experience to build something useful for the consumer. I think some of the politicians lacked that experience in this case as they often had cooks and other staff that made meals for them.
Pushing for a big behavior change at cost and poor convenience to customers never works. Ideally the solutions are always better technology or better economics. No amount of passionate plea to change sustain without either of these two in the long term.
Great post Aditi. Practicality, cost and convenience eventually triumphs every other reason for positive change.
Thanks for reading!
Damn this is such an interesting post. Just found your newsletter and I am hooked, Aditi. You’ve gained a subscriber!
Thank you for your kind words! Makes my day!

Yes, that's true. The lack of real-world experience really showed in this case. It also exemplifies that force fitting solutions doesn't really work.

Agreed! Which is why involving users more in the development process is key while coming up with better technology solutions.
