@dsourceindia This interview is part of the course "The History of Product Design in India."
The course aims to explore the deep and diverse roots of India’s art, craft, design, and architectural traditions - often underrepresented in global design histories.
In this episode, we feature Prof. S. Balram - a storyteller at heart and a visionary in the field of design education. The interview traces his inspiring journey from a small village in Andhra Pradesh to becoming a driving force behind several of India’s prominent design institutions.
Prof. Balram has served as the Chairman of the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, a founding and governing council member of the Craft Development Institute (CDI), Kashmir, and currently serves as Dean of the DJ Academy of Design, Coimbatore.
A recipient of the Ron Mace Award for Universal Design and the UNIDO-ICSID Award for Design and Development, among many others, Prof. Balram shares his thoughts on design’s role in social development, education, and storytelling.
