Ashwini Deshpande discusses the impending Twitter rebranding Storyboard18
Any large change deserves an announcement. Some brands do it through #rebranding. But before we ask how much of change is too much, we need to ask why. And we may ask that many times over.

Ashwini surfs the tide of opinion in her latest piece for Storyboard18
The announcement of Sequoia India & Southeast Asia morphing into the shiny new "Peak XV Partners" has obviously made waves. Ashwini surfs the tide of opinion in her latest piece for Storyboard18 , where she deconstructs the name - along with the identity, and their renewed sense of purpose. You can go through the complete story and instead of concluding with Shakespeare, we present Mark Twain instead for his aptness: "Names are not always what they seem. The common Welsh name BZJXXLLWCP is pronounced Jackson".
Happy reading!
Ashwini talked to Ramu Ramanathan of WhatPackaging by PrintWeek India on her observations & learnings.
The most sustainable packaging will be “no packaging”
interpack, the largest international packaging fair for food, beverages, pharmaceutics, cosmetics and non-foods took place at Dusseldorf after six long years and the focus was on #sustainability & #connected packaging. As we work on many #packagingdesign projects at Elephant Strategy + Design, it was a great exposure for us to see where the industry is heading and if there is hope, after all.

Ashwini Deshpande as jury for The Usha Awards
“Please put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others”
This is the right advice when you are on a flight.
But in life, I don’t believe you have to wait for that perfect condition or moment to give a hand to the others. We can all rise together and raise together.
Thank you for initiating this much needed push for the young creatives.

Elephant at Pune Design Festival 2023
Knowledge and creativity are essential for both: personal and collective growth in the world of design. But how do we go about acquiring those? At Elephant, collaboration and resource-sharing are the pillars of our functioning - and we believe them to be the best catalysts for consistent evolution.
This also happens to be the central premise for the Pune Design Festival. Several members of the team attended the 17th Edition - whose ecstatic faces you can see - and actively engaged with the sessions, workshops, panel discussions and more. Our future-focused approach also found common ground with PDF's theme for 2023: a futurist agenda for design in the next 25 years for India and the world.
Watching the design community come together as one to network, exchange ideas, celebrate creativity and discuss innovative methods of problem-solving was a sight to behold. We look forward to keeping this creative momentum going within our community, as well other fora and festivals aimed at the finer intersections of creativity and design!
