Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Respawn | Building Retention Focused Interactive Media Apps

Episode 3: Aditya Deshpande

In Episode 3 of Lumikai Pixels Blueprint × Outlook Respawn, Aditya Deshpande, Principal at Lumikai, explains why retention sits at the centre of every successful consumer product.

Rising acquisition costs and privacy shifts have made durable engagement the foundation of LTV, CAC efficiency and ROAS. Aditya walks through why monetisation depends on users who keep coming back, what the move away from growth at all costs means for unit economics, and the early retention signals investors look for in consumer and interactive media apps.

If you are chasing growth that lasts, this is a must-watch!
