PDD Consult
About PDD Consult

Engineers and designers who would rather build than talk.

We started PDD Consult in 2013 for a simple reason. Too many good ideas were dying in the gaps between design and manufacturing. So we put every discipline a product needs in one place.

PDD Consult is a product design and development studio in Bengaluru. Since 2013 we have helped founders, OEMs, and product teams take hardware from a first sketch to parts coming off a line.

We are built on a simple idea. Good products come from keeping design and engineering in the same conversation. When the industrial designers, the mechanical engineers, and the electronics people sit at one table, problems get caught early, and the thing that ships is the thing you meant to make.

How we work

Every project starts with the people who will use the product and the constraints that will make or break it. We sketch, model, simulate, and prototype our way to a design we are happy to stand behind, and we test our assumptions while they are still cheap to change.

Why one roof matters

Handoffs are where products lose their shape. Intent gets fuzzy, decisions get reopened, weeks go missing. Keeping the whole job in-house means we hold onto the thread from the first idea all the way to production.

Our path

From two disciplines to a full product team

2013

Founded in Bengaluru

Started as a small industrial design and mechanical engineering practice.

2016

Simulation in-house

Brought CAE and CFD under our own roof, so we could validate before prototyping.

2019

Electronics and mechatronics

Added PCB and embedded integration for connected products.

2021

Manufacturing and supply

Closed the loop from design to production with vendor and supply support.

2024

Across five industries

Products made in medical, automotive, IoT, consumer, and furniture.

How we work

What we hold to

Build to learn

We would rather hold a rough prototype than argue over a slide. Evidence beats opinion.

Respect the constraints

Cost, tolerances, regulation, timelines. We treat them as the brief, not the enemy.

One team, no handoffs

Design and engineering sit together, so nothing gets lost on the way across.

Honest engineering

We will tell you early when something will not work, while it is still cheap to change.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The things teams usually ask before they start.

Can we hire you for just one part of a project?

Yes. Take a single discipline - say industrial design or simulation - or hand over the whole product from concept to production. We work both ways.

Do you work with startups or only established companies?

Both. We have taken first-time founders to investor- and regulator-ready devices, and helped OEMs and product teams ship new lines.

Can you take a product all the way to manufacturing?

Yes. We handle design for manufacturing, vendor identification and audits, and pilot runs into volume production.

Where are you based, and do you work remotely?

We are in Bengaluru with the whole team in one place, and we work with clients across India and abroad.

How do projects usually start?

With a short conversation about where you are. A sketch, a spec, or a rough prototype is more than enough to begin.

Have a product in mind? Tell us where you are. A sketch, a spec, or a prototype that is not quite working. We will tell you how we would take it forward.
