Introduction

Our Program empowers students to become compassionate Product Designers who can build Sustainable solutions leveraging Design Thinking philosophy.

Humans are surrounded by a diverse range of solutions that they use for multiple needs and desires. These solutions can be:

Product or Tangible Solutions

Screen or Graphical Solutions

Strategic or Service Oriented Solutions

At our program, our students will be encouraged to build solutions in the diverse thrust areas as per their interests and skill sets. Our labs and our strategic partnerships are focused towards these thrust areas: Healthcare, Robotics, Mobility, Education, Entertainment, Fin-tech, Gaming, Animation, Governance, Sustainability, Biotech, Agri-tech, Food & Nutrition, etc.

While our students learn how to build a product that is easy to use, they will also develop skills to assess whether this product makes sense in the current economy. We encourage our students to not only focus on "How do we make our Design user-friendly (User experience)?" but also "How do we make our Design cost-effective and sustainable (Business Viability)?"

Our three golden attributes for every product:

Functionality

Aesthetics

Sustainability

Our students will learn at every step to focus on circular economy whose objective is to ensure products and services are developed in a sustainable way by limiting the consumption & waste of resources and also limiting production of waste.

The soul of our program lies in keeping our students connected to the real world by facilitating collaboration and interaction with stakeholders from different walks of life.
