New Delhi [India], February 05: In a world where digital interaction shapes user decisions, the fusion of User Experience (UX) design and persuasive strategies is redefining the way we connect with technology. Recognising the pressing need for expertise at this intersection of design and psychology, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has announced admissions to the second cohort of its Advanced Certification Programme in Persuasive UX Strategy. This programme equips learners with the tools to craft innovative and impactful digital interfaces that captivate and effectively guide user behaviour.

India’s burgeoning e-commerce sector, anticipated to reach $325 billion by 2030, coupled with the rapid adoption of digital payments (expected to double to $7 trillion by 2030), underscores the critical role of UX in shaping consumer behaviour and driving business growth.
