@dsourceindia This interview is part of the resource "The History of Product Design in India." The initiative aims to highlight India’s rich legacy in art, craft, design, and architecture - traditions often overlooked in globally centered narratives of design history. In this conversation, we feature Prof. Uday Athavankar, a polymath in the fields of architecture, industrial design, game design, and cognitive science. As a long-time faculty member at the Industrial Design Centre (IDC), IIT Bombay, Prof. Athavankar reflects on key projects that shaped his approach to design - most notably, the redesign of the Indian postbox and the low-cost, India-specific ATM for NCR, which earned a President’s Award. He shares the deep design insights drawn from these projects, and how they inform his current work focused on culture-specific localization of products and systems - designing not just for function, but for meaningful use within specific cultural contexts.
