This project explores the evolving definition of luxury for Indian Very High Net Worth Individuals and translates these insights into the design of a digital instrument cluster for Mercedes-Maybach. As India’s affluent population grows, luxury is no longer defined by excess alone but by personalization, cultural pride, and a seamless blend of tradition and innovation. The research examined how Indian VHNWIs engage with luxury across fashion, travel, real estate, and watches, followed by an in-depth study of Mercedes-Maybach customers in India and comparisons with brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley. A key insight revealed that luxury for this audience is deeply personal and narrative-driven. Based on this, the project proposes a culturally nuanced digital cluster that combines modern interface design with the richness of Indian craftsmanship. The outcome positions the instrument cluster as a storytelling surface that aligns with Maybach’s global ethos while resonating with Indian luxury sensibilities.
