The project “Mini Laundry Device for Washing Undergarments” by Naman S. Varma (IDC, IIT Bombay, 2008–2010) explores the potential of designing a compact and durable laundry solution for the Indian base-of-the-pyramid market. With rising disposable incomes and changing lifestyles, consumer durables such as washing machines are shifting from luxury items to everyday necessities. Yet, a significant section of the population remains underserved when it comes to simple, affordable laundry devices. This project identifies laundry—an essential, universal need—as an area where design can reduce effort, save resources, and modernize age-old practices while being sensitive to local customs and materials. By focusing on undergarments, the design aims to provide a practical, low-cost, and culturally relevant white good that not only eases daily life but also holds potential for job creation and broader social impact.
