Employment History
From To Company Title/Role Description
03/2005 10/2007 Bajaj Electricals Ltd Design Manager / Manager Worked as designer (design manager) in design and development, home appliances division, Bajaj Electricals ltd, Mumbai, for 2.5yrs. My design of a popular iron DX3 is a full in-house design and seen as the best design in its category so far. This design solves all the earlier problems of fit and finish. The complex surface was modeled in Alias design studio, while the internal details were done in Pro-E.
My other project is a instant water heater which is a new form design as replacement of an existing not so appealing product.
Alias design studio and Pro-E has been used extensively, for all the product designs. 3D printing and SLS has been used for making prototypes, to depict exactly what the final design is going to look like. In addition to all this a lot of work for graphic design has been done for various products in Corel Draw and Photoshop.   
My profile here involved generating product brief from various market requirements and then converting the brief into various concepts which further converted into prototypes and finally as a manufacturable model. It also involves close coordination with the marketing department, understanding the actual need of the product. There is a lot of work on the aesthetics of the product as that becomes the USP. 
08/2002 01/2005 VIP Industries ltd Assistant design manager / Independent Contributor

I worked as designer (assistant manager) in design and development, VIP industries limited, Nasik, for 2.5 Yrs. My first design of a premium luggage named “FOX” has been appreciated a lot in the APLF luggage fair in Hong Kong. There the product received orders from Gio Cellini Milano, Italy & a Poland based firm. The product involves 5 new molded components designed by me; single stem trolley, side lugs, puller, logo and handle insert. The product and its components have been manufactured in China. 
Next is “Classe”, a collection of suitcases strolleys and duffels, a premium design that was required at less cost. This product has also been made in China. Other products are Daffodil Vanity case & Value engineered PU Satchel, where keeping the cost low was a major concern. In PU Satchels I designed a new stiffener that offers flexibility to be used in various other similar products. The stiffener design allows it to be used in different sizes of luggage. A Patent has been filed for the same.  
I had visited the Chinese vendors in DongGuan thrice for the development of Fox.
Other Experience
Competitions

All the above 3 entries are shown in the designboom.com website.
