1st C : Cause

 

CAUSE: 

Every design project is usually initiated by a need (be it a commercial requirement or a social necessity) or a problem with the product. This need or problem recognition is a key trigger for the project and it can be identified either by a product manufacturer/marketer, user, or even a product designer.

SEATX:

"One of the major reasons to work on this project comes from personal experience. My grandmother is very old and because of this, she faces difficulties in getting into and out of the car. The primary barriers identified are the doors and the height difference between ground and foot-rest of the vehicle. Due to this, we have to help her get out by lifting her physically. This whole process is very tedious for both, the elderly people and the helper. There should be some product which provides mobility and reduces the effort overall. A good product can make this whole process independent of both individuals." - Viren, a team co-founder

Such emotional reasons are fuels to the most passionate projects that are undertaken and we believe this would keep us motivated to help solve the core problem throughout our journey!
