Renault Interior Designer Moneet Chitroda meets Design Academy India’s interns

Since 3 months, the 4 Renault Design Academy India Internship program interns, in Chennai India, keep on working hard to achieve their objective: get hired by Renault  at the end of this adventure.

For those that do not know yet, Renault recently opened the Design Academy India special internship program in its new Design studio in Chennai India. Objective of this initiative is to select some of the best talents from design schools and form them with a very close to reality working program, the 2 best at the end will be offered a real designer job contract.

From an idea of Patrick Lecharpy, and managed by Luciano Bove the Design Academy India counts on a trainers’ team of 12 professional Renault designers. Each week a trainer flies to Chennai to spend his/her week with the interns and supervise their project development.
