Hello! my name is Nikhil Pravin Tupe, I have completed my Master's Degree in Intelligent Mobility ( Vehicle Design ) from the Royal College of Art and Bachelor's degree in Industrial Digital Design from Institut supérieur de design, India.

I am polymath who is experienced working with multi-cultural themes where I showcase the leadership competencies ranging from projects that involved perceptive quality management, Digital platform exploration that involves User experiences and User Interfaces, future casting, Design Thinking, Visualization, Digital tools like Adobe suite and 3D cad Softwares.

While completing my master's degree at the Royal College of Art, I have taken part in many of the design competitions including the student union presidential election. This helped me understand what future artists and designers are thinking about the future. I was curious about the different backgrounds of Design, Innovation, and Arts. I was open to change and adapting new things and meeting new people.

" The more I meet people more I learn from them "

Being consistent and motivated helped me win design awards (click on block heading for links ) -

Royal Automobile Club Design competition ( Winner of Insight Award ) where we student worked with Intelligent Mobility Design Centre focussing on Mobility for Ageing group ( Elderly ) in the UK.

Porsche Design Competition ( Runner Up ) where our team SENSEED focussed on five senses of the body and made an edible product working alongside a chef to create bits-size snacks which commuters eat at the start and end of their journey to invigorate and calm the senses. Using our senses of taste for wellbeing has been tried and tested in other design fields, yet it was new to automotive and worth exploring.

British Airways Design Competition ( Award for Inspiring creative future vision ) This Project was made on Occasion of BA completing its 100 Years. We worked on this project for 4 months and got a lot of support from British Airways they provided Industry experts from companies like NASA, Foresight Factory, Safran, Airbus, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Bombardier, etc. The exhibition was held in the Saatchi Gallery where we showcased future vision for BA2119 Future of Flight.

Living in London has a lot of benefits, it gives you a lot of opportunities to explore yourself. Being surrounded by different backgrounds of people, artists and designers inspire you. Tutors, Guest speakers, and Industry Experts are around you in RCA which develops your Design thinking process making you a better Designer & Entrepreneur.

I believe Future mobility is about moving people and goods around in an easier, more efficient, and more environmentally-friendly way. It uses new ideas and new technologies to look beyond traditional, Infrastructure- heavy approaches to transport and inventing innovative ways to improve mobility and journey better, accessible to all.
