I am an Industrial Product Designer and Consultant based in Bangalore. Design and development have been the mainstream of my career, allowing me to work extensively on new product designs, diverse inventions, and complex technical challenges. I am highly adept at navigating demanding projects within crucial timelines, bringing a thorough, detail-oriented, and process-driven approach to everything I do.
Beyond the drafting board and CAD software like AutoCAD and ZWCAD, I am known for analyzing situations quickly to implement innovative resolutions. I pride myself on being highly articulate, demonstrating excellent interpersonal skills to facilitate the effective exchange of complex manufacturing and industrial data. There are no boundaries to learning; I continually absorb new methodologies and apply them through design and development, a passion I have also shared as a faculty member in international colleges for Product Design.
The Joy of Creation & Human-Centric Design
Everything outlining my workflow points to one core belief: innovation and design are joyful professions, not just jobs for earning a living. Because I truly enjoy creating, I view design as the absolute joy of creation. I seek work that brings mutual growth and happiness to both the company and myself. When a person genuinely enjoys their work, time limits fade, resulting in highly productive outcomes and, ultimately, better financial and personal growth.
I firmly believe in human-centric design over merely human-attractive design. While appealing aesthetics sell, true design considers psychology, physical well-being, and mental health. Designs focused solely on curb appeal often ignore long-term impacts, leading to future challenges. This philosophy extends across all my domains:
-
Toy Design: A deeply joyful profession where I studied child psychology, ergonomics, and motor skill development. Working with Channapatna toy makers and STEM concepts taught me how design can actively shape a child's joy and growth.
-
Automation, AV, & Robotics: While AI and robotics are rapidly changing the world, they can have a negative effect if they overly reduce human physical activity and critical thinking. We must build AI and robotic physical constructions that assist mankind without diminishing our physical and mental vitality.
-
Diverse Industries: I have applied these principles across furniture, home appliances, Audio-Visual (AV) integration, and packaging design, ensuring products can be modernized and controlled while keeping the end-user's well-being in mind.
Innovations in Health & Active Living
My personal commitment to health consciousness directly fuels my professional innovations. Waking up early for dedicated fitness routines and prioritizing overall wellness isn't just a lifestyle; it is a design philosophy. I am deeply interested in creating products that keep humans active throughout their lives.
A prime example of this is my work on the Power Pod, an energy-harvesting unit for gym equipment designed to capture and utilize the energy generated during physical workouts. I am actively developing concepts that bridge the gap between human physical exertion and sustainable energy, with patents currently in the testing and clarification phases across India and the UK.
Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science
I possess a deep-rooted knowledge of and belief in Bharat’s ancient texts. The Vedas and Puranas offer profound, detailed explanations of the human body, life, and advanced scientific principles. In many ways, modern science has yet to reach the level of advancement and holistic understanding present in these ancient texts. I integrate this spiritual, astrological, and mythological understanding into my worldview, allowing it to inform how I see energy, design, and the human experience.
Workflow & Family
Time is the boundary for everything. Over the years, I have realized that intermittent bursts of logical and creative thinking yield far better, more innovative results than long, exhaustive overnight grinds on a project.
As a team lead who has managed groups of 5 to 12 people, I know that leadership isn't about mastering every single task; it’s about understanding team strengths, distributing the load effectively, and delivering the desired solution on time.
Equally important to my professional success is the time I spend with my family. I work hard to keep them happy, and I place the highest importance on maintaining that balance. At the end of the day, creating a joyful life is the ultimate design project.
