WhereDesignIsTaught,Crafted,andReimagined.
India's premier design ecosystem — from coaching the next generation to building products and immersive realities.
One ecosystem.
Three dimensions of design.
Work that speaks
for itself.
Design Launchpad
A 2-year flagship program that has shaped 500+ careers — preparing students for NID, UCEED, and NIFT entrance exams with faculty from India's top design institutions.
Figma Masterclass
A 12-week intensive that transformed 248+ students into production-ready UI designers — covering component systems, auto-layout, prototyping, and real-world workflows.
TDH XR Lab
Exploring spatial computing and immersive design futures — from VR experiences to AR-powered educational tools that push the boundaries of how we interact with design.
Not another coaching centre.
A design ecosystem.
We don't sell certificates. We build designers.
Our faculty comes from IIT, NID, and NIFT — not from YouTube.
From entrance exam coaching to professional XR — one ecosystem, infinite possibilities.
Small batches. Personal mentorship. Real projects.
“The Design Habitat exists to create the next generation of designers who don't just follow trends — they set them.”
Vinayak Kulkarni
Co-Founder & Chief Mentor · Ex Associate Dean, MIT Institute of Design, Pune
One of the founding members of MIT School of Design in 2006, Vinayak Kulkarni has spent over 25 years shaping the landscape of design education in India.
Having career-counselled and guided 10,000+ students across India, SAARC, and the Middle East, he brings an unmatched depth of experience in understanding what it takes to build a successful design career.
With 1,000+ seminars and workshops under his belt, Vinayak founded The Design Habitat to create a holistic ecosystem that goes beyond traditional coaching — encompassing UI/UX professional training and cutting-edge AR/VR experiences.
Voices from
our ecosystem.
“It was Vinayak Sir's guidance and motivation that shaped my career. The guidance he has given me right from preparation to admission and even further in selecting the specialisation area has helped me immensely.”
“The Figma Masterclass was a game-changer for my career. I went from knowing nothing about UI design to landing my first design role within three months of completing the course.”
“TDH XR's approach to spatial design is unlike anything else in India. Their understanding of how immersive technology can transform experiences is truly visionary.”
Whether you want to learn design, need a design team, or are building the spatial future — we're your habitat.
