“Learning is a lifelong journey.” Few people will disagree with this statement, but in the fast-changing world we live in, our learning journey won’t be linear. In the interview with Trishala Pillai, an enterprise software account executive turned education technology enthusiast and advocate, we hear her own non-linear journey getting to and working as the director of strategy at Rumie, an educational nonprofit working with the world’s most influential organizations to create and distribute micro-learning materials to meet the needs of the economically-displaced, smartphone-first modern learner.
Similar to the frugality concept that what the tech world is fascinated with, Trishala turns the clock back to ancient India and introduces us to the concept of “Jugaad”, referring to non-conventional, frugal innovation emphasizing on “doing more with less”. Towards the end of the interview, Trishala also shares with us her thoughts on the rise of “social learning” and what skills required in a world humans are going to be intertwined with machines.
