Fuji Electric recently bagged the prestigious India Design Mark by the India Design Council for the design of its Falcon range of UPS.
The award is given in recognition for excellence in product innovation and design. India Design Mark symbolizes product excellence in form, function, safety and innovation which communicates that the product is usable, durable and aesthetically appealing.
For a product to qualify for the awards it has to be made in India, designed in India and sold in India.
The India Design Council is affiliated with India’s Ministry of Commerce & Industry and is made up of eminent people in academia, design and industry organizations. India Design Mark is initiated in cooperation with Good Design Award, Japan. Through India Design Mark, the India Design Council seeks to inspire Indian manufactures to design remarkable products that enrich the lives of people in India. The India Design Council has initiated India Design Mark in cooperation with Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP).
