Imagine some magical land where there aren't enough industrial designers. Where demand for ID guys outstrips the available supply by a factor of ten. Turns out such a place exists, and even though they've got a billion people, most of them are not ID'ers.
"If I need 20 people, I would probably end up finding 12 hires," says Arun Jaura, senior vice-president, R&D and global product development, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, the country's largest tractor maker that also makes cars and utility vehicles.
The country we're talking about is India, where they need about 1,500 fresh designers a year, but the in-country design schools are only producing 150. Ironic since Nokia, LG, Whirlpool, and G&E have all recently set up design centers in India. Read all about it here.

sounds good, sign me up..25 plus years with patents and awards too.
Sadly, a large part of the environmental crisis that we are beginning to realise is over comsumption. We don't need more industrial designers, but more theoretical discussion as to how to focus the industry to the best interest of the people, and environment (F*&^! the economy).
...And the need for design gals???
this is very contradictory note still ppl in india are not much interested into design ..........even these industry ppl.........marketing ppl are the real leader to them...........
