You work in the multiple area of ergonomics like product, workstation, automobile and more… Can you please set the context by telling us, what is ergonomics and how is it related to design? 2\. How can things be ergonomically designed for mass since it’s a very customised design? 3\. Can you tell a particular case study in which study of ergonomics deeply helped users? 4\. What is the importance of ergonomic workstations in today’s society? IT, Shopkeeper and more… 5\. At what stage should design organisations consider ergonomics as a priority given the infrastructure of the country.
