“My passion for cars and design led to the study Industrial Product Design. My strong desire to work on cars, finally led me to IED Turin. Italy is renowned for many things, but for me its fabled history in car design is insurmountable and Turin is the heart of Italian car industry. I chose IED Turin, because the course not only builds all the essential skills up right from the core, like sketching and clay and digital modelling, but also it is the closest to working with a car design department of a company. The final year of the course sees the development of project in collaboration with a car brand, right from sketches to a show car at the Geneva auto show. This experience is definitely unparalleled. No other college or university offers such an opportunity, along with the sufficient training to execute such a task. The choice was easy”, says Ranbir Kalha, former Transportation Design student.
