It's been a wild multi-disciplinary design adventure since I graduated from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad in 1995. Honestly, I never graduated from being in the thick of action, hands-on, when it comes to design and R&D. I shifted to Mumbai from NID in 1995, started Design Intervention in 1998, and then shifted to Goa in 2012 and set up Design Intervention - Goa branch. The Mumbai branch continues with my brother, Amit as the CEO of DI Mumbai. I've been fortunate to work with great partner-directors (Suresh Venkat, Warren Turner, Amit Pathania), clients and lead small but amazing teams, and designed and prototyped more than 2,500 ideas, from table-top products to electric vehicles and large marine structures, and won Awards and even Patents across varied industries.I believe constant multi-disciplinary design action is the magic potion for innovation. Since mid 2022, I have led the design development of a 5 seater VTOL, amphibious craft for Evdron (Singapore, UK). The company has recently entered a JV with Flowcopter UK as the propulsion partner, to form a UK based company called SeaHorse Air Limited.My previous and recent engagements include:www.evdron.com - (VTOL passenger craft, eAutocycle, Twinned Wheel Sway eBike, Mini Cinemas etc).www.designintervention.biz - (2.5 decades of multi-disciplinary design, Goa office now dedicated to Seahorse Air).www.TIYmakers.com - (edtech startup with focus on hands-on learning).www.FabLabshow.com - (Science show on Stage).www.multi-mask.com - (face mask for industrial and other applications).-----------------------------------Overtime engagements:I'm part of the founding committee of Designers along with the State Govt and its Startup cell that set up the Creative Community of Goa (CCG) which is actively working on the Design Policy, a unique Web Directory, and towards making Goa an attractive destination for the Creative Industry to thrive, with aim to provide an alternate and more sustainable economy for the state while giving due importance to the society and sustainability as well.As a mentor at the incubator F.I.I.R.E. , I try to dedicate time whenever called upon, to guide young startups to take their ideas though a design filter as well.
