4-What does this recognition spell for the future of Indian design?
It was an honor being selected as the International Young Design Entrepreneur and representing my country and its design sector at the London Design Week for the prestigious 100% Design. I think India's design talent is getting recognized the world over and we are developing a niche for ourselves.
5- So is Indian design finally getting its due?
Ours is a nation rich in cultural heritage and unique crafts. As designers, we need to explore our vintage techniques to create products by taking these crafts to another level of uniqueness. India as a theme is hot on the fashion circuit. Most people I met in the UK were eager to visit our country to learn more about our culture. As product designers we should look at generating this kind of curiosity for tangible products from India and designed in India.
6- What changes do you foresee in the near future?
I see India morphing into a big, exciting hub for design and design becoming a huge business proposal for investors. Design (I might be pushing it a bit) might be the next boom after the IT sector. I see specially conceived products changing lives of people, with the users distinguishing tasteful designs from those that are not honest.
7-How do you create an emotional experience through the products you design?
Each product I design must have an ethical significance. Keeping workability, function and usability as a hygiene factor, I like to create a story around my designs. It could be in the form of a metaphor or theme to generate a styling language that has relevance to the product.
