Jagan Ganapathy
I was trained in Godrej and worked on the Indian Navy's Aircraft carrier ship INS VIRAAT designing ergonomic spaces and interiors. I enjoy creating design systems and products that offer multiple solutions through permutation and combinations. With a strong passion for integrating simplicity into complex design, in 2009, I co-founded YUGA Design, a product design and development firm.
I hold strong belief in the value and importance of synchronizing product aesthetics alongside product function. My design practices depend on a process that built on strong user study which helps to deliver user centric solutions. In 2010 YUGA Design won a grant from the Department of Science and Industrial Research (DSIR), Government of INDIA, to develop an in-house eco-friendly solar -electric hybrid catamaran and on successful completion, our product was featured as DSIR's Technopreneur success story.
YUGO Design has been associated with some of the top Indian medical equipment manufacturers including Appasamy Ocular Devices and Phoenix Medical systems, and in 2012 one of our product swon "Innovative product of the year, Medica, GERMANY."
I graduated from the National institute of design ( NID, Ahmedabad, INDIA) with a post graduate degree in design.
