The curriculum of the M. Tech Program in Product Design and Management empowers graduates to understand the convergence of technology, design, markets, and the business of products.

The M.Tech program includes courses around the understanding of technology products, the convergence of technology, design, markets & business, product design, development and management, products from emerging technologies (research). An extended program project in the second year helps with creating product-translating ideas into deep technology products that connect with markets.

According to Prof Raghu Reddy, Head of the PDM program, โ€œModern-day engineers tend to be technology- and algorithm-centric and itโ€™s very rare to find people who actually understand customers. On the other hand, product managers focus more on product markets, strategies but seem to focus little on the underlying technologies, product design, and their ability to interface with product developers as well as customers. This program has a nice balance of technology, design and management with a specific focus on ICT products to start with.โ€
