DIPLOMA PROJECT The lighting division at Crompton Greaves initiated a home lighting project given to me during my internship. After research, with the help of the marketing head, we decided to target the niche area of ‘High Income groups’. Finally, design registrations for 40 concepts were filed and 3 detailed working prototypes with mechanical & electrical details were completed. The project is currently under review at CG for further development and implementation.
Crompton Greaves Limited
DIPLOMA PROJECT User and market research was conducted in 3 urban cities with 35 houses, 20 shops, dealers and furniture malls covered. Also, insights were taken from domain experts in architecture, interiors and lighting. Graph of Choice makers of the lighting fixtures (Users or domain experts like architects, interior designers) v/s Family income per month was plotted for the analysis of the user data. Also, the lighting and interior style trends were mapped in this matrix.
DIPLOMA PROJECT User personas of each segment were created to better understand the consumer and his aspirations and lifestyle. Mood board is created for one of the target personas (Young couple) and this gave us attributes like modern, geometric, interactive and minimalistic associated with this persona.
DIPLOMA PROJECT The design language has attributes like modern, minimal and geometric. Further, it varies from Sharp/Edgy (like modern furniture) to soft/organic (like home accessories e.g.. contemporary vases)

DESIGN FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
This course is designed to develop empathy towards people having specific limitations and for understanding the challenges they face in day to day life. It presents an interesting opportunity to meet the specific users and domain experts, to develop unique products.
DESIGN FOR SPECIAL NEEDS The critically ill and old patients are immobile and bedridden. Thus, they have huge problems in urination and defecation. In this project, I targeted this problem.
Study of current bed pans and other similar products in the market was initially done. Later, I visited few hospitals to visit patients using this product first hand. Useful insights from nurses, hospital staff and management were also noted.

DESIGN FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
DESIGN FOR SPECIAL NEEDS Thus the final concept based on calculated ergonomic data is more correct with regards to shape, size (its 20% larger than current available bed pans) and contour. It has provisions for holding, cleaning and maintenance which also make its indirect users like hospital and its staff happy
TECHNO AESTHETIC DETAILING
Understanding technical requirement of existing product and integrating its components aesthetically. Also considering ergonomic principals and visual semantics to develop efficient and user friendly product.
TECHNO AESTHETIC DETAILING
TECHNO AESTHETIC DETAILING The final solution solves problems of instability and grips the surface well. The overall form is inspired from modern vehicles and bikes and is compact enough to be portable on your bicycle. Material - Mild Steel.
TECHNO AESTHETIC DETAILING The pressure gauge meter uses colour coding to show tyre pressure is full. This is visually more easy for a regular user to understand full air pressure.
FORM STUDY : NATURE INSPIRED DESIGN Many innovations are often triggered by the diligent and vigorous study and observation from nature. Thus, in this form study exercise we had to choose an inspiration from nature and study its form and structure. Also, using this natural form as reference and inspiration we had to generate a product while being consistent to its attributes and qualities.
STALLION
FORM STUDY : NATURE INSPIRED DESIGN The horse was my inspiration from nature. I got a chance to observe them closely at the Poonawala stud farm and Pune race course. Majestic, Dynamic, Elegant and Muscular The motif derived from the abstraction is used for a futuristic bicycle design concept. Thus, this design brings new design language to the mechanical looking sports bicycles. Material - Carbon fiber

INTERACTION DESIGN
To develop an interactive system for college workshop tools storeroom so its is easy to segregate, provide information and issue or return tools and materials from the workshop stores. Thus it can reduce the process time involved in issuing and returning tools and materials.
INTERACTION DESIGN
Students, stores attendant process flow is mapped
All the pressure points are identified in the user research
INTERACTION DESIGN The concept consist of a 3 kiosk interactive system. College computers are the basic infrastructure used to run the system : • Student (Issue/return) kiosk: Used for issue of tools and materials. Would be working only on this for the scope of the project. • Store attendants kiosk: Helps store attendant to a keep a tab of tools, material, dealers and purchases. • Information kiosk: Gives information about tools & materials.

INTERACTION DESIGN The basic design layout of offers quick search choices on the left, shows the tools menu list in center and your basket on the right. Its similar for materials too.
INTERACTION DESIGN The 3 most common tasks of the viz. Issue tools, Return tools and Issue materials can be accessed after you login into home page.
SYSTEM DESIGN
For designers, the systems approach and system thinking can become powerful tools towards change as this approach provides with a more accurate picture of reality. This course was designed to understand the systems approach and its application in the design process of a product or a productsystem. Vinayak Iyer
SYSTEM DESIGN By 2020, at current annual rate there would over 7 billion airline passengers worldwide. Also, with intensified security measures, its vital to have a new system for our baggage management at airports.
Number of bags per day
100,000
Number of mishandled bags per thousand bags
7
Number of bags mishandled per day
100,000 bags x .007 bags lost = 700
Cost of a mishandled bag
Rs. 6050
Cost of mishandled bags per day
700 bags mishandled per day x Rs.6050 = Rs. 42,35,000/day
Annual cost of mishandled bags
Rs. 154.6 crores/year

SYSTEM DESIGN A new baggage monitoring system needs to be developed that, • •
Can be introduced within present infrastructure and eliminates the need to redevelop a complete terminal for accommodating an automated baggage handling system. Provides real time search and locating of baggage.
•
Only one RFID scanner per carousel.
•
Reusable Hard cased tags eliminate usage of paper for tag printing
Re-program = Re use Re-programmed with new BSM
Tag collected at EXIT
• •
Makes the passenger feel a part of the handling process by providing baggage monitoring ability. Can add value to baggage claim experience by reducing passenger baggage exchange.
SYSTEM DESIGN ): Solving the issue of human error and bridging digital baggage information database with manual monitoring, the RF Palm makes baggage handling simpler and foolproof.
SYSTEM DESIGN •
UI work-path flow was designed for the ‘baggage reconciliation’ and ‘full load check processes’.
•
Button + Touch + Track pad, means its easy to use even for single handed operations.
•
Employing the integrated camera and high power signal transmission, the device uses augmented reality to navigate the baggage handler to the lost baggage.
•
Once the bags are found and reconciled, only then the IT system allows full load confirmation.
SYSTEM DESIGN • • •
LED Digital displays improve the baggage claim experience by displaying passenger name and seat number along with incoming bags. RFID scanned information displayed on passenger claim side as well as airport tarmac side. Can be used for advertising purposes when claim carousel is dormant.
• • •
Carousal design is U-shaped to give dual side access to users, resulting in less crowding. Also, U-shaped carousal means the carousal is in the center of the baggage claim area, which further reduces crowding Sloped areas is provided to unload the bag from carousal
GRAPHIC DESIGN Cos Phi make smart energy products which are energy efficient and thus help the environment. So, values like clean, green and modern had to be reflected in the logo. Modern typeface ‘Korataki’ is used in the design. ‘Phi’ symbol is inspired from the commonly used symbol for ‘power’ and is an interesting detail which can further be used in product graphics.
GRAPHIC DESIGN Alpha Stars who are the only authorized NLP training institute in India needed a new fresh two fold brochure. The brochure uses NLP language patterning, wherein the text are purposely aligned in a particular hierarchy; that every time you read the text in a particular order, a new interesting and relevant meaning arises out of it.
