Who Is UXINDIA ?

With a vision to build and sustain the implementation of design thinking for a better living, UXINDIA / UMO was launched around the turn of this millennium when the mainstream design was in its nascency. Today it has emerged into one of the biggest design communities of India with a growing world wide network. UXINDIA at its core is a confluence of thought leadership in design from the industry, the institution, and the individual to ignite, inspire, and delight communities through design-driven social change.

A not-for profit venture, UXINDIA is built by, built for, and sustained by its growing community of designers, enthusiasts, influencers from business, education, and governance. Our goal is to continue to work towards growing our community by evangelizing design and there by lead evolution in industry, academia, and governance with design at the center.

Our Program Aims To

  • Recognize, facilitate, and bench mark design in India
  • Take design education to the grass root level and shape great design talent in India.
  • Offer great conferences/workshops/training to our community by bringing in specialist national and international speakers and latest, emerging UX trends.
  • Encourage Women in Design in India.
  • Bridge the gap between the academia and industry.
  • Help govt. in innovative policy making and guide NGOs in driving social impact by design
  • Supporting ‘Make In India’ by helping Startups and Startup eco system with design


UX INDIA remains as a not for profit platform and never becomes a Private Limited company.

Built on the principles of integrity, honesty, and drive UXINDIA is today synonymous with UX community in India. We never misuse the brand UXINDIA for conducting commercial activities. We always stand neutral and work with all related communities and organizations in realizing our goal of shaping India into a design centric nation.

Let’s identify and isolate the imitators trying to take advantage of UXINDIA brand. 
So many well wishers informed us that some duplicates i.e., imitators are misusing our brand and leveraging it to gain commercial mileage. As a community, we all should be aware of this and spread the word. This will go a long way in preserving our identity, and in helping us forge ahead with a resolute focus on our vision for a bigger cause.

UX INDIA

It is a platform to build and sustain the implementation of design thinking for better living by bringing the three essential pillars together.

Theme

Being human by Design

As the boundaries between humans and machines blur with the emergent tech, we are up for an exciting ride where the technology when designed responsibly could work beautifully. As demonstrated at recent Google I/O, assistive tech can seamlessly blend into our lives and offer great human experiences. On the flip side in a different example, Youtube autoplaying the next video within seconds backed by deep learning is eating into our sleep. This race for capturing the attention isn’t best for our well being. Going beyond UX/UI, the role of design becomes paramount than ever in designing experiences for humans that reflect sense of responsibility and that instills trust and confidence in the emerging tech. Even if the boundaries are blurring, should there be a line drawn to differentiate machines with humans? What does it take to design experiences that bring the very essence of human to our interactions with tech?

Raising the game

Calling design managers, gurus, business, and tech leaders to bring inspiring stories, case studies, and customer cases that inspire our audience with what it takes to elevate design.
