Dr. Dinesh Katre’s Design Psychology course was a truly unique and insightful experience. He masterfully blended the principles of design psychology and social communication with the practical realities of digital product and service design.

His ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible information was truly impressive. He encouraged us to think critically about how these principles could be applied to our own design projects, various techniques to empathize with users fostering a deeper understanding and a more human-centered approach to our work.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from Dr. Dinesh Katre. This course has been immensely valuable and has significantly enriched my design practice.

Attending the "Design Psychology for Product Innovation" course by Dr. Dinesh Katre was a transformative experience. The course delved into unique psychological principles behind user behavior, which are rarely covered in traditional UI/UX courses.

Dr. Katre's insightful teachings and practical examples, such as those behind habit-forming apps and personalized platforms, showcased how design psychology drives real-world product innovation. I highly recommend this course for anyone aiming to create truly user-centered designs.

The course on "Design Psychology for Product Innovation Focusing on Social Behavior", conducted by Dinesh Sir, was a real eye-opener for me. It not only deepened my understanding of psychology from a theoretical perspective but also showed how to apply it practically with real-world examples used in the industry.

Course is thoughtfully designed to explore various psychological concepts, helping us better understand user needs in different use cases. I would highlight each assignment is carefully structured to deepen our grasp of these concepts.

I’m grateful that this course gave me valuable insights into design psychology, which will undoubtedly help me create better, more thoughtful solutions in the future.

Reliance Industries Ltd, Mumbai

The course conducted by Dinesh Sir on Design Psychology and its linkages to the Art of Digital Product development was an ‘eye opener’.

The course touched upon several ‘researched’ philosophies from the domain of human psychology; and how such psychologies can be strategically used in understanding the ‘implicit’ user needs, thereby making the product closer to the unsaid deepest needs/desires of any user or user group.

I am thankful to life that this course happened at a time when I was looking to further enhance my domain knowledge.

Assistant Professor, Design

FLAME University, Pune

This course offers much more than its title suggests. Initially, I assumed it would cover just the basics of psychology, but it turned out to be far more comprehensive and demanding.

The advanced concepts taught in this course require rigorous effort and dedication. These concepts span multiple domains within psychology, providing a deep and thorough understanding that applies to the digital design paradigm.

What makes this course truly exceptional is its practical relevance to the IT industry. The psychological principles and theories discussed are not just theoretical; they have direct applications in various professional fields such as design, marketing, and management.

Pursued Design Psychology Internship on “Personalized Learning Strategies based on Personality Typology of Students” at EngramLogic during August to November 2024.

Brainfloss, UK

I fail to find the words to express my joy and gratitude as I complete my research project under the mentorship of Dr. Dinesh Katre Sir, a true pioneer in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. As the first person to be awarded a PhD in HCI in India, it was an honor to work under his guidance, the Founder and Director of EngramLogic and Ex-Senior Director & Head of the Department & Founder of Human-Centred Design & Computing Group at C-DAC. I never imagined that after attending his webinar, I would have the opportunity to learn from him, especially as no one in my college was pursuing HCI research. Against all odds, after reaching out with an internship request, he responded positively, providing me with the chance to explore this exciting field.

Dr. Katre is not only a brilliant mentor but also one of the kindest individuals I’ve had the privilege to know. Despite his many responsibilities in the USA, he mentored me virtually throughout the project. From August to November, I worked on personalized learning strategies based on personality types—Sensing, Intuitive, and Feeling. The research aimed to understand how middle and high school students with different cognitive styles engage with learning. We designed tests for each personality type at Vidya Pratishthan’s School in Nanded City with 23 students, and the insights gained will help create more effective e-learning strategies. I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Katre for his support during this life-changing experience.
