Product Innovation & Intelligent Systems

“Designing smarter products and systems for India and the world.”

Product design today is no longer limited to aesthetics and form — it is about creating intelligent, connected, and sustainable solutions that improve lives. In India, with the growth of manufacturing, consumer goods, healthcare, mobility, and digital products, there is a strong demand for designers who can innovate across both physical and digital domains.

The MDes in Product Innovation & Intelligent Systems at WUD equips students with the skills to design next-generation products and smart systems. Along with fundamentals of design visualization, CAD, and material workshops (wood, plastics, clay, metal), the program introduces emerging tools like AI-aided design, IoT integration, and digital prototyping. Students are trained to combine creativity with engineering, strategy, and sustainability. Close links with industry ensure exposure to live projects and the latest technologies, making the program both rigorous and highly relevant.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can build secure, well-paying careers in India’s expanding manufacturing, electronics, healthcare, and consumer goods sectors. Opportunities exist with leading product companies, design consultancies, start-ups, and research labs, or as entrepreneurs. Roles range from Product Designer, Design Consultant, and Furniture Designer to Electronics Equipment Designer, Experience Innovator, or Entrepreneur in emerging product ventures.
