Designing the Future: Kinetic EV’s Double Win at IBDA 2026

Good design is not only about how something looks. It is about how thoughtfully it is created, how naturally it fits into everyday life and how effectively it turns an idea into an experience. This philosophy earned Kinetic EV two prestigious recognitions at India’s Best Design Awards (IBDA) 2026, India’s Best In-House Design Studio and India’s Best Design Project.

The double win is a significant milestone for Kinetic EV and a reflection of the thought, creativity and collaboration that go into building a new-age mobility brand.

The recognition for India’s Best In-House Design Studio celebrates the team behind Kinetic EV’s design thinking. From product development and visual identity to user experience and the smallest details of everyday interaction, the team has worked to bring together aesthetics, functionality and purpose.

For Kinetic EV, design begins with understanding people. The way they commute, the things they value, the challenges they face and the experiences they expect from their vehicles. This people-first approach has helped shape a design language that feels modern while remaining accessible and distinctly Kinetic. The second recognition, India’s Best Design Project, celebrates the Kinetic DX, a product that carries the weight of an iconic legacy while being designed for a new generation.

The electric Kinetic DX brings together familiar elements of Kinetic’s design heritage with contemporary technology and thoughtful functionality. Its design is intended not simply to create visual appeal, but to make everyday riding more intuitive, practical and effortless.

This balance between legacy and innovation lies at the heart of the DX story. The awards also reinforce Kinetic EV’s belief that meaningful innovation happens when design and engineering work together. As the company continues to expand its presence in electric mobility, design will remain an important part of creating products that are relevant to the way India moves today and how it will move tomorrow.

For the team at Kinetic EV, these recognitions are both a moment of pride and a motivation to keep pushing boundaries. Because great design is not just created to be noticed. It is created to make a difference.
