  • Why Curiosity Matters More Than Credentials ft. Vittaldas Kashyap | Walmart International | EP 44
    Jan 18 2026

    This episode of Creative Spark-Plug is for people who have built skills, careers, or companies — and are now questioning how they think, design, and decide.

    In this conversation, Vittaldas Kashyap shares an unconventional journey from interior design to becoming a global UX and design leader — not through degrees or frameworks, but through curiosity, boldness, and deep empathy for users and people.

    We talk about:

    • Why confidence often matters more than knowing the answer
    • How design thinking is really about human behaviour, not tools
    • Why great careers are built by selling ideas before mastering them
    • What founders and leaders misunderstand about UX, creativity, and culture
    • How empathy scales better than expertise

    This is not a tutorial on UX/UI.
    It’s a conversation about how thoughtful people build meaningful work over time.

  • Why Doing the Work Isn’t Enough Anymore ft. Sandeep Nanu | founder, writeclick | Rajesh Sharma | Baashobe Majumdar | EP 43 | Creative Spark-plug
    Jan 4 2026

    Creativity is often misunderstood as execution - doing more, producing faster, wearing multiple hats.In this episode of Creative Spark-plug, we sit with Sandeep Nanu to explore a more mature idea of creativity - one rooted in judgment, restraint, and sensing what truly matters.

    Sandeep shares his journey from early web design to building an unconventional brand consultancy model - not by doing everything himself, but by identifying the real needs of a brand and bringing the right people together.

    The conversation moves beyond work into life design, trust, patience, stand-up comedy, wildlife rescue, and the quiet discipline of showing up consistently.

    This episode is for creatives who feel tired of the hustle narrative - and are curious about a calmer, more intentional way to build meaningful work.
