Make things WORK - Make things BEAUTIFUL

Kummaya Design Studios is a full-service product design consultancy with a passion for innovation and excellence. Our team of skilled designers, engineers, and strategists work collaboratively to bring your ideas to life. From initial concept sketches to the final product, we ensure that every step of the design process is meticulously planned and executed. With years of experience across multiple industries, we specialize in creating user-centered, aesthetically appealing, and functional designs that meet the unique needs of our clients. At Kummaya, we believe in transforming ideas into tangible solutions that make a lasting impact.

Technology Research

We specialize in developing innovative product ideas by leveraging technological and scientific advancements. For example, our work in microfluidics applies principles such as capillary flow and other techniques to create unique product propositions, often resulting in new intellectual property for our clients.

Our expertise spans diverse areas, including medical imaging and vibration distribution, enabling us to devise optimal solutions for highly complex problems. This process often involves addressing the fundamental functionality of the product concept.

We conduct extensive proof-of-concepts (POCs) to validate individual elements or submodules. Once these components are proven, we design and test the complete integrated system. This system then serves as a key input for the next phase: Industrial Design, where constraints and requirements are finalized.

Industrial Design

Industrial Design (ID) is at the intersection of functionality, user experience, aesthetics, and manufacturability. As a design services provider, we specialize in transforming technical concepts and ideas into innovative, market-ready products. Our focus is on delivering solutions that balance form and function while meeting user needs, manufacturing constraints, and sustainability goals.

Our process begins with understanding the client’s vision, technical requirements, and the needs of the end user. We then create initial sketches and concepts, exploring different forms and design approaches. Through iterative refinements, we develop 3D models, detailed designs, and prototypes to bring ideas to life.

Collaboration is key to our success. We work closely with engineers, stakeholders, and manufacturers to ensure every detail is optimized for usability, durability, and production efficiency. Beyond aesthetics, we consider ergonomics, intuitive interfaces, and market trends to ensure the product stands out in competitive markets.

From medical devices to consumer electronics, our Industrial Design solutions are tailored to meet the unique challenges of each project. By integrating creativity with practicality, we help clients create products that not only perform exceptionally but also resonate with users, driving brand differentiation and delivering tangible value. Our designs aim to inspire, innovate, and endure.

Engineering Design

Product engineering design is a multidisciplinary approach to developing innovative, functional, and market-ready products. It integrates technical expertise with creative problem-solving to address the unique challenges of each project. This process spans the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept development and prototyping to production, refinement, and market launch.

Engineers focus on key factors such as performance, durability, and cost-efficiency while ensuring the product adheres to industry standards and regulatory requirements. The use of advanced tools, including CAD software,  and 3D printing, plays a critical role in optimizing designs, identifying potential issues, and accelerating development timelines.

Collaboration across various engineering disciplines—mechanical, electrical, and software—is vital to delivering comprehensive solutions that meet user needs and expectations. This teamwork ensures seamless integration of components and systems, resulting in products that are both innovative and practical. By combining technical precision with a deep understanding of market demands and user preferences, product engineering design transforms ideas into high-quality, tangible solutions. Whether in consumer goods, medical devices, or industrial equipment, this process drives innovation, improves functionality, and delivers value to clients and end users in diverse markets worldwide.

Testimonials

Bala S Manian
CEO & Founder, ReaMetrix Inc.

 “I had the privilege of working with Pramod Kummaya nearly a decade ago on several product design projects at ReaMetrix. His creativity and professionalism made a lasting impact on me. From concept to completion, Pramod consistently demonstrated meticulous attention to detail and an impressive ability to understand and anticipate user needs. He was a skilled designer and an excellent collaborator, taking the time to truly listen, adapt, and translate ideas into practical, innovative, and highly implementable solutions.

What sets Pramod apart is his dedication and passion for delivering exceptional results. Even after all these years, the quality and relevance of his work remain evident. I wholeheartedly recommend Kummaya Design Studio to anyone looking for top-notch design solutions backed by expertise and a commitment to excellence.”

Anand Sivaraman Remidio
CEO Remidio

“If you wish to have a partner who will own tough problem statements in product development, that needs a combination of freshness of approach, quick learning from field trials, an appetite for taking risk, a love for quick failures and a strong will to “make things happen”, Kummaya is that partner.

Pramod and his team worked on executing on an automated imaging system that involved optimizations in product design, mechatronics and software engineering – from idea to market ready technology prototype was executed in less than 8 months !

Dhananjaya Dendukuri
CEO Achira Labs

Pramod is a rare individual that combines engineering innovation with user-centric product design. At Achira he has helped us take multiple new medical devices from early concepts to convincing product demonstrations. He brings with him both the prototyping skills and engineering network that can enable an efficient transition from idea to working prototype. He is also very skilled with virtual models, physical prototypes and produces high quality visual aids like videos and brochures. Most importantly, Pramod is very aligned with team objectives and comes with a strong sense of ownership that enables him to take the project to completion. I would strongly recommend using Kummaya studio for any innovative and challenging product development work.

Nikhil Phadke
Founder & CSO GenePath Diagnostics

It has been a pleasure working with Pramod Kummaya over the past 3-4 years on our journey to develop an integrated microfluidics-based samples-to-results molecular diagnostics platform. Pramod has been an exceptional collaborator, bringing immense resourcefulness and innovation to the table.

His expertise has been instrumental in creating multiple solutions for the sample preparation workflow and in bridging the macro (real-world) and microfluidic interface within the cartridge. The quality of his work consistently meets the highest international standards, and his rapid turnaround time for designs and prototypes is truly remarkable.

We deeply value Pramod’s contributions and look forward to many more years of successful collaboration with him and his team.
