Hi Umesh! This is Bagchi here. We make TV commercial ,I can give you the info that you are looking for.

Budget of a 30 sec commercial is dependent on how difficult and complex the production is. It can ranges from 18 Lakhs to 45 Lakhs.

We have done some projects of Louie( a mosquito character for Mortein), which is live action-animation( animation done in KL) was a 40 sec commercial. The Budget was around fifty Lakhs.

The kind of animated stuff that floats around it looks like it must be around 15 to 16 percent of the total commercials produced in a year.

I would not know the budget for broadcast graphics. If you want any more specific information you can write to me in this e mail id : shantanu@...

NID-ITPO SHOWCASE DESIGN

Hall No.19, BIC,First floor,

Pragati Maidan, ND

Tel: 011 23379645/46

Dear All,

NID was identified by UNDP through KVIC in the year 2000 to carry out impactful Design Interventions in the Khadi & Village Industries sector. The Objectives of these design interventions by NID in select KVI Institutions were simple as listed below:

o              Preservation of traditional skills

o              To prevent migration of rural artisans to urban areas

o              Reduction in dependence on subsidy culture and relying more on performance culture

Thus, a need was felt to “formalize” the contribution of NID to the Khadi & Village Industries sector both by KVIC & UNDP. This led to signing of an MOU between NID& KVIC on October 6^th, 2001 under which a KVIC Cell commenced at NID campus, which has been working towards the needs of the KVI sector in close coordination with KVIC.

NID successfully carried out design intervention projects in those Institutions as jointly identified by KVIC and NID thereby fulfilling the above objectives over the last 3 years. This led to a sense of confidence and buoyancy both within UNDP and KVIC as regards the commitment and capability of NID to make contribution towards enabling the Institutions (and ! thereby the artisans) of Khadi & Village Industries sector to be self-sufficient.

KVIC identified a number of Khadi Units in Gujarat & Maharashtra on the basis of :

•              Willingness to Change.

•              Performance Capacity.

•              Activities undertaken in the past for Product Development.

•              Proximity to Ahmedabad.

A total of ten Institutions were selected by KVIC based on the above criteria. NID had proposed relevant “Design Intervention” projects to be implemented for these Institutions, which were supposed to be funded by UNDP.

The strategy (to be) adopted by NID in these project proposals entailed the following:

•              Survey of existing scenario.

•      &n! bsp;       SWOT Analysis.

•              Design Development.

•              Training for capacity building / skill enhancement.

•           !    Organizing Buyer-Seller Meet.

Further, the emphasis was not only to develop design, but in hand holding the Institutions to attain the capability of entering the markets

NID successfully carried out design intervention projects in those Institutions as selected by KVIC thereby fulfilling the above objectives. To give a few examples, the following Institutions ! benefited considerably through NID’s Design Intervention Projects:

Shri Bhal Nalkantha Khadi Gramodyog Mandal, Ranpur.

(Natural Dyeing in wool)

Gandhi Smriti, Bhavnagar.

(Children-wear from Khadi Fabric)

UDYOG BHARTI, Gondal

(High fashion embroidered ready-to-wear garments).

Over and above successful Design Interventions, NID also contributed in the following areas:

·               Conducted capacity-building and design-sensitisation workshops for artisans of Institutions and KVIC staff respectively. Also conducted technical trainings at Institutions alo! ngwith KVIC staff.

·               Acted as Design Consultant for KVIC & designed the KHADI logo, Diaries & Calendar for KVIC.

All of the above led to a resurgence of Khadi sector the commitment and ca! pability of NID to make contribution towards enabling the Institutions (and thereby the artisans) of Khadi & Village Industries sector was appreciated by all concerned. The new Khadi logo was designed by Shri S M Shah, Principal designer at NID.

In November 2001, KVIC launched a national level design-intervention-financial-assistance scheme -- PRODIP (Product Development Design Intervention & Packaging) -- for its Institutions, the monitoring role for which was assigned to NID. In the first year of its operation over 50 projects exceeding a total amount of Rs. 1 Crore were sanctioned.

The institute is planning to! set up design studios in KVIC, where it will train designers and advise them on implementation of ideas. Now, the role of NID has been redefined to a nodal institution along with KVIC to turn around khadi. Both NID and KVIC will be working together to sell the khadi brand. NID will support by training designer in each zone. NID will provide expertise to those employees of the zone. In the first MOU, the KVIC wanted NID to turn around the khadi segment and also market the fabric to youth as fashionable apparel, now NID will work from within KVIC to give the required thrust in marketing.

Few visuals of NID’s design interventions in this sector are also attached.

Dear All,

In the context of rapid changes in the design education in India and overseas and the far reaching changes in technology, emergence of service sector etc. the pressing need for systematising the design education and implementing a system for strengthening Excellence of Education System while retaining unique values and time tested processes at NID ha! s become clear.  Attached is a background note related to the roadmap of SEED, which describes the development and progress of collaboration between the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad (NID) and Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD) at the University of Central England in Birmingham UK (UCE), and summarises the plan of action for strengthening educational excellence at NID launched this year from
1^st January 2004.

Your opinions, feedback will be very helpful for successful implementation of the ! SEED, a system for educational excellence of NID, by NID, for NID.

Yours,

Hi! all,

This goes to confirm our insecurities and lack of initiative.

Hi all,

I am puzzled. I am involved in the Design Business Incubator project set up
recently by NID and surprise- surprise! After all the emails about how DBI
needs to work with only NID designers- out of 80 proposals- there was hardly
one/two NID entries and that too one of them was by a student who has still
not graduated! (Prashant, please correct me if I am wrong)

C’mon guys whatever happened to good ideas? Don’t you have something you
want to develop, have dreamt of developing and wished that you had the
backing for it? Wished that you had NID infrastructure, a library like NID
and a potential VC to back you? I certainly wish I had something like this
when I set up my first business venture.

I raised the issue with DBI members and they are as puzzled as I am. Perhaps
you don’t really know the details, but at the risk of repeating to some:

1. The DBI offers key NID facilities- Library, W Shops, Internet and
Communications, access to academic experts on various topics.
2. Opportunities to interact with the big VCs from day 1- and potentially
get their funding (I know how tough it is to get them to even listen to you
on your own)
3. Leveraging your ideas with potential Industry partners
4. Apart from VCs (ICICI, Sidbi, Gujarat Finance), The DBI board has high
quality professionals- like Priti Vyas Gianetti, entrepreuners who are also
board members of NID governing council, IIMA professors- who will provide
guidance to incubatees.
5. DBI is headed by an IIMA graduate and other positions are yet to be
filled in.

And all this is available at a nominal monthly cost- where NID is not making
any money. Any experienced entrepreneur will tell you how cost intensive and
difficult it is to set up your own business. The heartaches are many and
rewards are few, in the initial years. A little bit of backing goes a long
way, when your business is at seed stage.

I would strongly encourage anyone out there, who wants to start a design
business/ has a great idea to take forward- please apply! You can send your
proposal to:

Prashant Kutaula, COO- DBI,NID
His email id: info@...

Cheers,
Shibani
