Panaji, January 2026:
Underprivileged Goan students with an interest in technology received hands-on exposure to user-centred design and digital workflows through a campus outreach initiative by Goa-based digital transformation firm Kilowott. The company hosted learners from the Ponda-based Tata STRIVE at its Porvorim campus as part of its efforts to support early industry exposure.
Tata STRIVE works to equip youth from underprivileged communities with quality skill training aimed at improving employability, entrepreneurship opportunities and livelihood outcomes. As part of the visit, ten students from the Ponda centre took part in an interactive session on UX and UI design led by Kilowott’s senior designer, Ashley Custodio Mendonsa.
The session introduced students to the fundamentals of digital product design, team collaboration and the journey of ideas from concept to execution. Learners also observed real-world workplace processes, helping them understand the expectations and dynamics of technology-driven roles.
The visit offered students a practical perspective on problem-solving and collaborative workflows, helping bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry requirements.
Kilowott stated that such initiatives are part of its broader commitment to nurturing future talent in Goa by providing young learners with early exposure to professional environments and emerging career paths in design and technology.
