Where opinions go to be tested.
A working facility: students learn in it, and partner organisations commission real studies from it. Every method is taught hands-on, on live products.
Where opinions go to be tested.
Annual research publication
The State of UX Hiring in India — an annual, citable report
Starting with our first placement cycles, the lab publishes an annual report built from primary data: what companies actually hire for, salary bands by skill and level, portfolio patterns that convert to offers, and where demand is moving (AI-native design, DesignOps, research).
Methodology published in full. Free to read, free to cite with attribution — because research that others cite is how a standard gets built.

First edition: with our first annual placement cycle. Journalists, researchers and hiring leaders — get it first.
Usability testing
Moderated and unmoderated, in-lab and remote — planning, recruiting real participants, moderating without leading, and reporting findings that change roadmaps.
Accessibility
WCAG-based audits and assistive-technology testing; every student runs at least one screen-reader test before graduating, because automated checkers catch barely a third of real barriers.
Research methods
Interviews, contextual inquiry, diary studies, surveys, card sorting, tree testing and heuristic evaluation — each taught with its evidence base, cost and failure modes.
Design validation
Concept testing before pixels, prototype testing before code, measurement after launch — with success metrics defined before designing, so validation can actually fail.
Commission a study or learn the craft.
Usability benchmarks and accessibility audits for organisations; hands-on lab weeks for learners.
