@dsourceindia This interview is part of the course "The History of Product Design in India." In this segment, Prof. Sudarshan Khanna shares his vibrant journey of learning and shaping product design in India, beginning as a member of the first batch of students at the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad. His experiences at NID helped lay the foundation for what we now recognize as the Indian design ecosystem. Through a series of conversations and archival documentation, this interview traces his transformation into a prolific toy and game designer, deeply rooted in Indian cultural practices. Prof. Khanna offers insights into the rich legacy of toy design in India, while also challenging the idea that heritage is something to be merely preserved. Instead, he advocates for a living legacy - one that evolves with time, open to reinterpretation, reinvention, and continued relevance in contemporary contexts.
