Ranjan Malik is an Innovation Specialist, Speaker, and Writer.
 

Malik speaks on innovation – product, process, business model and ecosystem; he has spent many years studying and working on how systems work; especially business and sociocultural ecosystems. His inspiring keynotes and talks tap into his extensive experience in innovation and deliver thought provoking insights on topics such as step-changing growth, industry leadership and design.
 

With a decade at J Walter Thompson and Lintas and then over a decade and a half as an innovation speaker, writer, and facilitator, Malik has created methodologies that help not just decode and map the hidden structures and patterns in a system but also design and reimagine them. These include the innovation evaluation methodologies used by awards such as ‘Innovation for India’ and ‘Tata and Forbes Global Innovation Awards’, the model used by NABARD for rural innovation, the ‘Storm the Norm’ innovation method and the Primalise approach to ecosystem design called Deconstruct to Reconstruct.
