IDE Master Classes in India

A design revolution is taking place in India. Because of an unprecedented increase in competition, products and services are required to have outstanding quality to survive. At the same time, there is much pressure in delivering these products within an extremely short timeframe. This directly affects your marketing strategy. As a consequence, the development of interactive products, such as web sites and apps, is meeting ever increasing demands in terms of efficiency. This change is happening worldwide. In these rough seas, design thinking prevails. Why is that?

“What can we learn from successful companies”, and “How can design and branding become the new pillars for an innovation strategy in India“. “How can we a integrate design and brand management in our business model?”

These questions will be answered in a series of eight Master Classes during a two-day seminar by Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology and Brand Dialogue, a Dutch branding and design group located in Amsterdam and Mumbai.
