The Industry 5.0 concept has received tremendous attention since its introduction in 2017. With Industry 5.0, the design landscape is slated for a significant shift globally as well as in India. This will offer exciting prospects and opportunities for indigenous design education in India. With the advent of Industry 5.0, budding designers need to align their minds and skill sets to meet the design industry’s demands and be future-ready. Industry 5.0 focuses on human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. Interestingly, the core principles of Indian culture and traditional wisdom also focus on the guiding points of Industry 5.0 and are also mindful of life centricity, inclusivity, collaborative approach, and conscious use of resources. By embracing this confluence of indigenous cultural practices and Industry 5.0, the Indian design industry can chart an innovative trajectory that is globally competitive as well as deeply rooted in local culture. This synergy has the potential to create designs that not only solve problems but also promote social well-being, environmental responsibility, and a celebration of India’s vibrant heritage on a global stage. This paper aims to bring out the synergy between traditional Indian wisdom, cultural practices, and Industry 5.0 which has escaped scholarly attention. Indigenous cultural practices can aid in developing a sustainable approach, which in turn could foster the skill sets required by Industry 5.0 among design students. The descriptive study follows a mixed methods approach, and data is collected by review of literature as well as in-depth interviews with stakeholders from the design industry, design education, curriculum developers, and design students. The findings will have implications for practitioners, educators, scholars, and students from design industry and design institutions. It will also aid in strengthening the efforts of the Indian design education sector in expanding its educational efforts to ensure that design graduates are up-to-date in their thought processes, knowledge, and competencies.

摘要

The Industry 5.0 concept has received tremendous attention since its introduction in 2017. With Industry 5.0, the design landscape is slated for a significant shift globally as well as in India. This will offer exciting prospects and opportunities for indigenous design education in India. With the advent of Industry 5.0, budding designers need to align their minds and skill sets to meet the design industry’s demands and be future-ready. Industry 5.0 focuses on human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. Interestingly, the core principles of Indian culture and traditional wisdom also focus on the guiding points of Industry 5.0 and are also mindful of life centricity, inclusivity, collaborative approach, and conscious use of resources. By embracing this confluence of indigenous cultural practices and Industry 5.0, the Indian design industry can chart an innovative trajectory that is globally competitive as well as deeply rooted in local culture. This synergy has the potential to create designs that not only solve problems but also promote social well-being, environmental responsibility, and a celebration of India’s vibrant heritage on a global stage. This paper aims to bring out the synergy between traditional Indian wisdom, cultural practices, and Industry 5.0 which has escaped scholarly attention. Indigenous cultural practices can aid in developing a sustainable approach, which in turn could foster the skill sets required by Industry 5.0 among design students. The descriptive study follows a mixed methods approach, and data is collected by review of literature as well as in-depth interviews with stakeholders from the design industry, design education, curriculum developers, and design students. The findings will have implications for practitioners, educators, scholars, and students from design industry and design institutions. It will also aid in strengthening the efforts of the Indian design education sector in expanding its educational efforts to ensure that design graduates are up-to-date in their thought processes, knowledge, and competencies.
