Companies have over the years considered "design' as the most important aspect while building their company. Designing solutions and tools and the nature of design has also matured with time to cater the needs of multiple sectors and suit customer requirements.
For example, healthcare devices must be designed keeping in mind fluctuation in body temperature, body comfort and should incorporate the latest technology modules such as IoT and artificial intelligence. Similarly, industrial design in agriculture requires understanding of production requirements, making farmer-friendly products and geographical requirements.
The latest frenzy around creating "smart cities' has design playing a very important role in it. Smart cities are designed keeping in mind the natural habitat of a place, urban infrastructure such as co-working places, types of eateries, national heritage, roads and geography of a place.
