The industrial design market is thriving, fueled by manufacturing growth, in-house R&D centers, and initiatives like Make in India. Design education plays a crucial role, enabling skilled individuals to create exceptional designs using advanced resources and technology. As the business landscape evolves, product-based startups are leveraging local manufacturing capabilities. The Raw Projects, a dynamic strategic design consultancy, stands at the forefront of this revolution. With a relentless focus on efficiency and quality, The Raw Projects delivers unmatched user experiences through unique applications. Meticulous strategic assessments uncover valuable insights, driving the firm's innovative design solutions.
The Raw Projects emerged as a collaborative design studio, forging connections with a diverse network of individual designers and vendors possessing the precise skill sets required for each project. “Our approach cultivates a collective experience and deep passion, ensuring the successful completion of our endeavors. Our dynamic system enables us to fully commit to
each project and gain valuable insights along the way”, speaks Kalpit Doshi, Founder. In addition to client projects, the firm thrives on pitch projects, where it conceives and develops products and concepts in-house before presenting them to esteemed clients. “We are not your typical industrial design studio or firm. We tread the path between industrial design and entrepreneurship, exploring the intersection of innovation and business”, says Kalpit.
The Raw Projects offers a unique range of services encompassing innovation, concept development, and simple product design. Through its strategic approach, the company assesses projects in advance, enabling it to make confident commitments to its clients.

With transparency as the firm’s guiding principle, it fosters effective collaboration among multiple teams, empowering better decision-making.
The Raw Projects' team is a harmonious blend of individuals, each possessing unique skill sets that come together to execute exceptional projects. The firm’s team comprises industrial designers, engineers, and a wide network of trusted vendors who work collaboratively to bring our product visions to life. The Raw Projects also has a large circle of experienced colleagues whom it can rely on for advice and assistance. This open network is another added advantage, allowing the firm to overcome challenges swiftly and efficiently. The collective experience of its collaborators provides the firm with a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
The firm is not content with just designing; it strives to create greater value through its investments in pitch and system design projects that have the potential to be commercialized. “We envision a future where our work goes beyond aesthetics, generating meaningful impact and transformative change. As the owner of two innovative product-based startups, we have successfully developed multiple products that have been applied for patents”, adds Kalpit. The Raw Projects has also ventured into the realm of hospitality, turning a pitch project into a thriving business. Currently, the firm is on the verge of launching an exciting pitch project catered specifically to school kids, and it's another ready-to-launch product-based startup—a smart fire alert and protection device that facilitates effective rescue, aiming to be the first point of interaction for urban citizens in a fire emergency.
