About the DQ Labs team.

At DQ LABS we very well understand what it takes to crack the design entrance tests within the  constraints of time and resource today's young generation have at their disposal. With use of DQ LABS teams design sensibilities,  gained with industry experience, have pioneered online and offline courses to meet the aspirations, needs and constraints of young design minds and help them improve their necessary skills within least effort and time to crack the design entrance test.

DQ LABS has been conceived by Umesh and Shaun, Industrial designers, while working with General Motors in 2004, with a desire to guide architecture and design aspirants achieve their dreams. They strongly believe that genuine and committed guidance is essential to empower  aspiring design students to build their design career on a solid foundation. Since then they formed a team of designers, architects and design manager ( DQ Labs team) who have guided many students successfully in India and abroad.

we understand that Today's youth are tech savvy, smart, creative and have high aspirations towards their careers and life. It is important that their energy and passion is channelised in right direction to realise their dreams. We at DQ labs makes that process easy, fun and fast.  We are constantly developing and redefining our teaching approaches by taking advantage of the technology to improve quality of design guidance and coaching that our students get.
