User Experience Design (UX) is becoming a critical differentiator in software products. Companies ranging from Mint.com (personal finance) to Posterous (blogging) to Instagram (photo sharing) have deployed UX effectively for market differentiation.

However, many technology entrepreneurs are often unaware of how to best implement UX in their startups and how to get the maximum value out of UX. In the Indian software products and platforms space, entrepreneurs face additional challenges: Limited understanding of UX at the ecosystem level, a very small talent pool of digital UX designers, high costs of hiring designers, etc.

This panel discussion will bring forth 3 different UX perspectives from Business Applications, Consumer e-commerce, and Social gaming to help delegates develop their own UX Strategies for success. Panelist details and Twitter IDs are below:

Shalin Jain (@shalin10). Founder & CEO, Tenmiles
