About Us
Idea Pitch
Proof of Concept
Design & Prototype
Regulatory Compliance
Pilot & Volume Manufacturing
Don’t build anything without vetting your idea! We at Design Alpha, will help you identify what problem you are solving and if there are better ways to do it to reach the customer you are targeting.
At this stage, we can support you for
- Idea validation — Technical Feasibility and Due Diligence Engineering/Product Conceptualization
- Stage Wise and Product Development Cost Estimation
- Identification of Applicable Standards Certifications
- Techno-Commercial Presentation for raising funds
This is not a prototype! Before investing time and resources into building the product, Proof of Concept is meant to verify if the concept can be realized into a product with the
required functionality.
If you think you are here, we can support you to
- Block Schematics Development
- COTS identification (we need the full form of COTS)
- Supplier Identification and sourcing
- Test Procedure Development
- Pre-Design Review
- Concept Verification and Validation
If you have working Proof of Concept & your design requirements are frozen, you must be here! Design Alpha can work independently or work with your in-house experts for both designing and prototype building
would be best suited for your product? Don’t know if you should do certifications and then clinical trials or vice versa? Leave that to us!
We can help you with
· Identification of applicable standards
· Design validation for compliance: EMI, EMC, ESD, CE, UL, IP
· Pre-compliance testing support
· Final compliance test and certification support
Your prototype is now ready to be tried out by the end-users
(including clinical trials) and your first unit is ready to roll off the assembly line! Pilot manufacturing includes product design, material selection, design transfer to manufacturing, assembly, testing, tooling and fixtures, equipment validations, experiments, packaging, sterilization, accelerated age studies and transit testing.
We can support start-ups to:
- Identification of the right manufacturing partner for various parts, subsystems
- Pilot manufacturing at the certified manufacturing lines
For Volume Manufacturing, the pilot manufacturing documents are transferred to the manufacturer. The volume manufacturing involves:
- Transfer of manufacturing documents
- Stencil, jigs, fixtures
- Cost negotiation with the manufacturer
- Volume identification
- Packaging
- Brochures

By understanding the conditions and approaches integral to human connection, we provide R&D support, design, and develop technologies & products. Every venture we support wants to bring new ideas, new breakthroughs and new contributions for the people and the planet. Each technology and venture contributes to nation building in their small ways. Small changes today can help achieve emerging challenges of the future.
OUR JOURNEY
Design Alpha is a recognised R&D firm by DSIR, Govt. of India.
The idea of Design Alpha started with the quest – How to prevent setbacks and reduce failures that scientific and engineering entrepreneurs face in taking their work from the lab-to-market? Various university researches are funded, but the majority of the developed technologies are shelved. New ventures trying to commercialise a technology often face uncertainty in success due to the lack of a potential reliable partner – who can demystify the Proof-of-Concept to MVP journey. The cost of experiments is high, but the cost of failure is disappointing for many innovators who are invested emotionally in their dreams.
Social Alpha CEO, Mr. Manoj Kumar and CTO Advisor, Dr. Suresh Nair both had experienced these shortcomings. They wanted to do something to support the entrepreneurs in building better products, devices, or equipment. The leadership at Social Alpha placed a framework for action, the thematic teams contributed to the framework of Design Alpha. The framework has now evolved into an action-oriented entity. Design Alpha was formed in 2017 and has executed 30 projects till mid-2021. It has expanded capabilities to execute complex projects and partner for R&D. Design Alpha supports deep-science and engineering development by offering knowledge and services. It plays an important role in the ecosystem building and converging the efforts of stakeholders.
Our vision
To contribute to science and technology progress for accelerating social impact. The mission is to complement the expertise of our clients and facilitate translation of their idea and concept to commercial products taking it through the product development life cycle.
Dr. Suresh Nair, alumnus of Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay has spent his initial career at R&D Lab of Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India. Later he shifted to NeST, a multi-national private industry as Global Chief Technology Officer heading the technology strategies. He has designed and developed many novel products in Healthcare, Communication domains and many are finding excellent market acceptance globally.
Dr. Suresh Nair is Chief Technology Advisor, Social Alpha, founder of Design Alpha and Biophoton Technologies.
Dr. Suresh has more than 120 publications, 18 patents, co-authored three books and more than 200 technical reports to his credit.
He has been conferred with many awards including, IEEE Outstanding Researcher award, MGA Achievement Awards, DST Lockheed Martin award, BV Baliga Award, IETE OE Award, to name a few.
He is Chairman of many Government of India committees on R&D, member in various government Steering committees like MeitY, DSIR, etc. He is also in the management board of Maker Village, Govt of Kerala, Nidhi Prayas, DST Healthcare Hub, etc. He is member in many University boards and academic councils, Fellow IETE, Distinguished Fellow OSI, Senior member IEEE.
Dr. Suresh is currently Chair, IEEE India Council, and is an active promoter of academic industry association, and his passion is to mentor youngsters as entrepreneurs.
