Ergoform – seems pretty logical as a name for a industrial design company. I am here today for an informal interview. Looks much more like a design studio than 3 Head ever would! I see huge desktops, macs and I’m instantly impressed. It seems they have a prototyping workshop as well. So far so good. Here goes the interview.

Burnt my tongue while drinking the coffee that was offered to me there. Interview went smooth and I am very impressed by the company. The CEO offered to take me as a trainee for the time being and he said that he’s taken risks like this before (hiring someone totally inexperienced in the field of product design) and it has always paid off. So things look good now and I really want to work at this place!

UPDATE: I got the job! “Trainee Designer” for now. Reasonable pay. Excited!

The guys seem to be really laid back and easy going. There were three founders if I understood right. All friends from school and all exponents of the infamous IT industry of Bangalore. Bored with their 9-5 jobs, they set out to do something that they enjoyed. They offer “visual solutions” as they like to call it which basically means they do it all! Go to them for just a brochure and they’ll shoo you away. The interview went pretty well I presume because it ended with George asking me to quote how much I wanted. Heading to brigade’s to look at DSLRs now. More later!
