DesignBoat
UI/UX School
DesignBoat is the top UI/UX design school in India that
offers design courses & corporate training for Mobile & Web
Apps with placements in Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai,
Hyderabad, Gurugram, and Mumbai.
Recognized
India's Most
of the Year in
2023

Unravelling the Magic of a Pioneering UI/UX Design
and Training School
reativity is the magic of an artistic mind unravelling
Cthe secrets of the universal ethos of experiencing the
eternity of energetic existence. In the pragmatic
realm of modern human endeavours, riding in the boat of
design, compassionately creative artists are weaving the
magic of technological marvels putting them at the touch of
your finger to be discovered and fully experienced.
Behind every app you use and every website you visit,
some mysterious minds, hearts, and artistic hands at work
have designed them to solve your problems in a user-
friendly, intuitively operable, seamless, and smooth way. In
your heart, you always thank the UI/UX designer constantly
for ensuring that you can navigate those smooth-sailing
apps and websites as easily as a piece of cake.
The vital role of a UX (User Experience) designer is to
create a highly engaging and innately magical experience
for the user. At the same time, a UI (User Interface)
designer focuses on the layout of the app/website, including
elements like scrolling buttons and icons.
DesignBoat UI/UX School’s Founder and CEO, Harsha
Kakkeri says, “Designing a product is more of an art than
science. A good UX designer would focus on understanding
human behaviour, scrolling patterns, researching the end
user needs, and designing the product. This is an art that
needs to be practised. The actual implementation of the art
is mere science that can be easily learned.”
Unleash the Artist in You
DesignBoat School for UI/UX training is a Bangalore-
based EdTech company located in HSR Layout with
training classrooms in Mumbai, Pune, Gurugram and
Chennai. The training is offered for freshers, dropouts and
working professionals as well. Candidates can choose
between weekday and weekend sessions that suit their
schedule.
“I was someone who always swam against the tide,” says
Harsha reflecting on his educational entrepreneurship
journey. “I was always fascinated with design and drawing
from an early age, and while my family recommended that I
complete formal education before experimenting with my
hobby, I dropped out of college to work as a graphic
designer with no formal training. When I started, there
weren’t many options to learn these skills. I learned in on-
the-job training and soon became ‘Head of Product
Design’ at a startup.”
During his decade-long experience, Harsha conducted
numerous interviews and led a team of designers. Finding
the right candidate was the biggest challenge he faced in his
career. While the candidates had much enthusiasm to work
in the design space, they lacked the formal training and
knowledge of tools available in the market. “We had to hire
India's Most Recognized Design Schools of the Year in 2023

the candidates and then train them over a span of two-three
months before they could become productive. And no
training institutes in India oﬀered the right training for
designers. EdTech was still booming in 2016,” recalls
Harsha.
Uncover the Creative Force Within
This gap in the market pursued Harsha to quit his job and
start DesignBoat School for UI/UX along with Co-founders
Akshay Bukka, Chetan Deshmukh and Sneha Akshay.
Both Akshay and Chetan are close family members, and
this has led to close bonding between the founders with a
singular aim of training candidates in the art and science of
UI/UX design.
DesignBoat started with just two students, and with word of
mouth, they soon got dozens of monthly admissions. Initial
marketing leveraged only social media like YouTube
channel, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and
Quora. DesignBoat has trained over 7200 students and
placed close to 6900 students across 1000s of companies.
With placement partnerships across India, DesignBoat has a
successful track record for placing candidates in attractive
roles.
“We have companies reaching out for freshers as well as
experienced candidates. Our training and portfolio have
always been attractive for companies as they get job-ready
candidates who can work on projects from day one,” says
Sneha, Co-founder and Placement Head.
“We organize a recruitment drive every Thursday with over
40-50 companies participating in the placements. That’s
close to 200 companies per month,” she adds.
Unify the Design Thinking
DesignBoat’s unique training model oﬀers an exclusive
blend of classroom training and practical hands-on
experience. Right from day one, each candidate is assigned
a mentor and a working project to help candidates build a
design portfolio. “In the world of UI/UX, it's only the
portfolio that speaks volumes about candidates,” says
Akshay, who manages Training and Onboarding.
“When a candidate sits for an interview, the interviewer
would ask some technical questions and soon jump to
analyzing their portfolio, which would speak volumes about
the candidate's expertise in design,” he adds.
As of today,
DesignBoat has
trained over 7200
students and
placed close to
6900 students
across thousands
of companies.

“This is a very dynamic industry, and we must continuously
evolve our training to fit the market needs. Like, At
DesignBoat, our focus is to help candidates learn all the
latest happenings in the design world,” says Chetan, who
manages Operations and Industry Relations at DesignBoat.
Understand the Evolution
“Any change from Apple in their Human Interface Guide-
lines or new additions from Google on Material Design for
Android will be quickly incorporated in our training
curriculum,” informs Chetan, adding, “We would be in
continuous touch with our hiring partners to understand
their needs and train the candidates accordingly.”
Akshay furthers, “We see many enquiries from students
from the mechanical, civil background who want to start a
career in the IT sector but do not want to pursue coding. For
such candidates, UI/UX design is a great choice. We also
get a lot of inquiries from working professionals who want
to pivot to alternate careers. We have ongoing weekend
batches for such candidates.”
DesignBoat had also pivoted to a fully online training
model at the peak of the COVID-19 lockdown and is
successfully transitioning back to an offline model. “We
have been an adaptive company which has focused on
pivoting itself for the industry needs,” says Harsha, adding,
“We have been lean and bootstrapped all along.”
Unwind the Stream Ahead
“We also organize workshops and networking events every
week where we invite industry design experts to talk to our
students and help them upgrade their skill sets. These
meetups and cohorts also act as networking events for our
students and get placement opportunities,” concludes
Chetan.
With the advent of tons of design training institutes over the
last decade, DesignBoat is still standing tall with its unique
course offering, legacy knowledge, and lean business
model.
DesignBoat is all set to capture the training market for UX
design with its relentless pursuit of innovation, excellence,
and the drive to enhance the course offerings. The team
focuses on offering related courses, expanding to newer
cities and helping candidates find the right career path.

What were the initial challenges after venturing into the
educational field, and what are the challenges now?
Initial Challenges: Fashion education is a niche sector, and
venturing into this distinct field, separate from the fields
available at IPSA, such as engineering, management,
commerce, pharmacy, science, law, mass communication,
etc., required a bold step. Parents were often hesitant to
send their children to fashion education. However, Ar
Achal Choudhary established IFT to overcome these
challenges.
Challenges Now: The global fashion industry is rapidly
embracing technological advancements, and IFT is fully
prepared to embrace Industry 5.0 with its well-equipped
labs. However, the local fashion industry must also update
itself to meet international standards and keep pace with
these advancements.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how
technology is transforming the educational sector and
what advancements we can expect in the future.
15

The education sector continuously upgrades its teaching
methodologies by putting the latest sewing machines,
software, teaching and training equipment, tools, etc., to
match the industry and teaching via the latest gadgets,
computers, projectors, etc. The latest ERPs, CRMs, and
MISs are also used to manage day-to-day work. It is
essential to tune up with the industry demands and not use
the traditional, outdated knowledge base to teach in today's
era.
Future Advancements- The designers and brands must
welcome the latest technologies to leap in designing,
marketing, inventory management, retail, manufacturing,
etc., as per the modern digitally adapted customers. The
educational institutions must also walk side by side to
match the fashion industry.
Future Advancements are Expected: Artificial
intelligence, E-commerce, Augmented & Virtual reality, 3-
D Printing, Online Vector editors, E-fit, customized MIS,
Clo-3D, Social Media, Data Analytics, Novel Fabrics,
Blockchain, etc. Adopting these technologies will enhance
trends forecasting and supply chain management and result
in gaining a competitive advantage.
What would be your advice to the aspirants willing to
venture into the field of design schooling?
I want to offer some advice to students considering entering
this unique field. It is crucial to thoroughly assess your
genuine interest and passion before embarking on this
journey. Once you have decided to pursue a career in
fashion, it is important never to look back. Stay abreast of
the latest technology and trends, continuously learn and
grow, and refrain from copying designs. Moreover, be
prepared to put in substantial hard work and adhere to strict
deadlines. Seize opportunities that come your way and
devote yourself to providing satisfactory service to your
customers. Remember three key principles: original
innovation, garment quality, and timely delivery. By
embracing this approach, you can achieve remarkable
success in the industry.
How do you envision scaling the school's scope and
offerings in the future?
IFT has recently upgraded its technology and is preparing to
inaugurate Augmented Reality in the Fashion Industry Lab
soon. This lab is expected to be the first in the country to
offer state-of-the-art AR and VR facilities. Additionally, the
lab will be equipped with Clo-3D software. IFT envisions a
revolutionary impact on the retail and manufacturing
industry in the country through this technological
advancement. To fulfil this vision, IFT will soon commence
training programs for 25 industry personnel in collaboration
with NIMSME (National Institute for Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises).
IFT’s Hall of Fame:
Ÿ A reward of ₹51,000/- was announced by the National
President of The Textile Association (India) for the
successful organization of the Eternity Fashion Show at
the World Textile Conference in Ahmedabad.
Ÿ Ms Kanupriya Soni, a B. Design (Fashion Design)
student, won the 'State Level Competition' of the 'World
Skills Competition 2022.'

esign education in India has undergone a
Dremarkable evolution, transitioning from a niche
field to a prominent and diverse domain that
influences multiple industries. The evolution of modern
design education in India reflects the country's journey
towards recognizing the pivotal role of design in shaping
products, services, and user experiences.
In this ever-evolving landscape of education, few
disciplines have witnessed as profound a transformation as
design. Particularly in India, the evolution of modern design
education reflects a journey from niche to necessity, where
the recognition of design's influence across industries has
driven the reimagining of educational approaches.
The Early Landscape of Design Education
Historically, design education in India was limited and
largely focused on traditional crafts and artistic pursuits.
However, as industries evolved and global perspectives
influenced local markets, the need for structured design
education became evident.
The story of design education in India is a fascinating
journey that began in a time when the concept of design
was entwined with traditional craftsmanship and artistic
expression. In its early landscape, design education in India
was characterized by a focus on preserving cultural heritage
and honing artistic skills. This formative period laid the
foundation for the later evolution of design education,
showcasing the initial steps that led to the recognition of
design's pivotal role in shaping modern industries and user
experiences.
18

Milestones in Modern Design Education
The evolution of modern design education in
India is marked by a series of transformative
milestones that have propelled the field from its
nascent stages to a dynamic and influential
discipline.
Foundation of Design Institutions: The
establishment of design institutes like the
National Institute of Design (NID) in 1961
marked a turning point. NID's multidisciplinary
approach and emphasis on user-centred design
laid the foundation for modern design education
in India.
Diversification of Disciplines: Over time,
design education expanded to encompass various
disciplines such as graphic design, industrial
design, fashion design, interior design, and
more. This diversification reflected the
increasing recognition of design's role in shaping
every aspect of modern life.
Global Collaborations: Institutes collaborated
with renowned international design schools,
bringing global expertise to Indian classrooms.
This exchange of knowledge helped align Indian
design education with global standards.
Incorporation of Technology: The integration
of technology within design education
revolutionized the way designers work.
Computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing, and
digital prototyping tools became integral to
design processes.
These milestones, often shaped by visionary
institutions and individuals, have redefined the
approach to education and practice in design.
Through these pivotal moments, design
education transitioned from a traditional focus
on crafts to a multidisciplinary domain that
encompasses everything from industrial design
to user experience.

is an ongoing challenge.
Industry-academia Gap: Bridging the gap between
academic training and industry requirements is essential to
ensure that graduates are industry-ready.

spaces that balance aesthetics, functionality, and
sustainability.
Future Trajectory of Design Education
Interdisciplinary Learning: Design education is likely to
become more interdisciplinary, encouraging collaboration
between design and other fields like technology, business,
and healthcare.

on environmental sustainability and ethical design, future
curricula may emphasize responsible design practices.
Digital Transformation: Design education will continue to
adapt to the digital landscape, preparing students for the
evolving digital design paradigms.

testament to the country's recognition of design's
transformative power. From traditional crafts to cutting-
edge technology, design education has evolved to address
diverse industries and challenges.
The dynamic nature of design education calls for ongoing
adaptation, as educators and institutions strive to equip
students with the skills and mindset needed to shape a
rapidly changing world.

Discover the Creative Force Within You
True success in education
lies in positively
impacting students' lives,
fostering a love for
learning, and creating an
environment where all
learners can thrive.
Reflecting the universal visuals, designs, and arts in
its virtual realm, by its sheer design, the mind is as
deep, dense, and at the same time as everything
eternal and infinite as the cosmos itself. Moreover, just like
the universe, the mind evolves and expands continuously
with the help of our plastic brain and elastic thinking
flowing on the force of imagination, exploring the novel
vistas of unbounded curiosity.
This is uninterruptedly creative design thinking. In the
concurrent eras of pragmatism, the universal force of
mind’s innovative design thinking must be chiselled by
guiding lights to make it shine like diamonds on life’s
horizon.
Quoting the President of P.A. Inamdar College of Visual
Effects, Design & Arts (PAI VEDA), its Dean, Dr Rishi
Aacharya, says, “It gives us the greatest pleasure to
welcome you all to the College of Visual Effects, Design &
Art (VEDA). Again, I’m quoting our beloved P.A. Inamdar,
sir, “As you may be aware, the economic scenario world-
wide is changing rapidly. What was modern yesterday is
currently obsolete. Our industry needs a trained workforce
who can innovate on their feet rather than merely following
the crowd.
At VEDA College, we aim to produce this kind of talent,
which is also a thorough professional besides being young
and dynamic. Our students are trained and nurtured in an
atmosphere that is creative, harmonizing and challenging to
tackle the intense competition at home and abroad. My firm
belief comes from our experience that once our students set
about achieving their goals, they are next to none in
achieving the success they aim for.”
Fostering a Knowledge Community
Being a Dean, I, too, believe in our aspirations of positively
impacting the lives of students, teachers and the education
industry by creating a conducive environment that fosters
learning, growth and innovation. Similarly, a wonderful
culture of art, animation, creativity and the teaching-
learning process will be unfolded to you.”

Top Ten Trends in
Design Schooling
in the
Contemporary Time
The realm of design education is undergoing a
dynamic transformation in contemporary times.
Design schools are at the forefront of shaping the
next generation of creative minds as technology advances,
industries evolve, and creative thinking gains prominence.
From embracing new pedagogies to incorporating emerging
technologies, design schools are adapting to ensure students
have the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to thrive in
today's fast-paced and interconnected world.
Multidisciplinary Curricula
Design education is moving beyond silos, with curricula
encouraging students to explore diverse disciplines.
Interdisciplinary projects and collaborations expose
students to a wider range of skills and perspectives,
fostering well-rounded designers who can approach
complex challenges from multiple angles.
For example, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)
offers "Digital + Media," an interdisciplinary program that
explores the convergence of art, design, and technology.
This trend ensures that students graduate with versatile
skills, enabling them to collaborate effectively across
different domains.
User-centred Design
A shift towards user-centred design emphasizes
understanding the needs, behaviours, and desires of end-
users. Design schools are teaching students to empathize
with users, ensuring that their creations are aesthetically
pleasing, genuinely useful, and user-friendly.
Leading design schools like the Stanford d.school
emphasize user-centred design principles. The d.school's
"Design Thinking" approach encourages students to
empathize with users, resulting in creations that resonate
with genuine needs. This trend prepares students to create
designs that prioritize user experiences, enhancing the
usability and impact of their work.
Sustainable Design Practices
The urgency of environmental sustainability is reflected in
design education. Schools are integrating sustainable design
principles, emphasizing eco-friendly materials, circular
design thinking, and solutions that contribute positively to
the planet.
The California College of the Arts (CCA) integrates
sustainability throughout its design programs. Students
work on projects that address environmental challenges,
like creating eco-friendly packaging solutions. This trend
reflects the growing importance of sustainable design in an
era of heightened environmental consciousness.
Design Thinking and Problem Solving
Design thinking, a human-centred approach to problem-
solving, has become a cornerstone of design education.
Students learn to identify and address challenges creatively
in design projects or real-world scenarios.
The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford
(d.school) pioneers the integration of design thinking into
education. Students apply this approach to real-world
challenges; for example, they collaborate with healthcare
professionals to design innovative solutions to medical
problems.

This trend equips students with a problem-solving mindset
applicable to diverse industries.
Digital Tools and Technologies
From 3D printing to virtual reality, design schools are
embracing cutting-edge technologies. Integrating digital
tools into curricula empowers students to conceptualize,
prototype, and present their ideas in innovative and
captivating ways.
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)
incorporates cutting-edge technologies across disciplines.
SCAD students use virtual reality to visualize architectural
designs, giving them an edge in understanding spatial
relationships. This trend ensures that graduates are well-
versed in digital tools integral to modern design processes.
Entrepreneurship and Business Acumen
Designers today need more than creative skills; they must
understand business dynamics. Design schools are
incorporating entrepreneurship modules, preparing students
to navigate the business side of their creative ventures.
The Royal College of Art (RCA) integrates entrepreneurial
skills into its design programs. Students develop business
plans for their design concepts, equipping them to navigate
the commercial landscape. This trend fosters designers who
can transform their creative ideas into sustainable ventures.
Global Collaboration and Cross-cultural Design
In an interconnected world, design knows no geographical
boundaries. Design schools foster cross-cultural
collaborations, allowing students to work with peers from
diverse backgrounds and gain insights into global design
perspectives.
Institutes like Aalto University promote cross-cultural
design collaboration. Students work on projects with peers
from various countries, fostering cultural exchange and
insights. This trend prepares designers to create solutions
that resonate with diverse audiences globally.
Human-Machine Interaction
As artiﬁcial intelligence and robotics become integral to
design ﬁelds, schools are exploring the interaction between
humans and machines. Students learn to design AI
interfaces, enhancing user experiences and creating
harmonious human-machine interactions.
Carnegie Mellon University focuses on human-robot
interaction in its School of Design. Students explore how
humans interact with robots in various contexts,
contributing to the development of future AI interfaces.
This trend equips designers to design harmonious and
intuitive interactions between humans and machines.
Ethical Design and Social Impact
Design schools are emphasizing the ethical dimensions of
design. Students are encouraged to consider the social
impact of their creations, addressing issues of inclusivity,
accessibility, and social responsibility.
The School of Visual Arts (SVA) incorporates social impact
projects into its curriculum. Students work on design
solutions that address social issues, like creating awareness
campaigns for mental health. This trend nurtures designers
who understand the ethical implications of their work and
its potential to drive positive change.
Lifelong Learning and Adaptability
The fast-paced nature of the design industry demands that
designers stay current with trends and technologies. Design
schools are fostering a culture of lifelong learning, teaching
students to adapt, learn, and evolve throughout their
careers.
Harvard University's Graduate School of Design
emphasizes lifelong learning. Through programs like
'Design Discovery,' professionals can update their skills and
knowledge to stay relevant in a rapidly changing industry.
This trend acknowledges that learning is an ongoing
process for design professionals.
