LUCERRÁ Wins FWA And Orpetron Awards With Hardik Bhansali’s Obsession Engineering Framework

Oct 13, 2026

The recognised website applies founder Hardik Bhansali's Obsession Engineering framework to cinematic, interactive design.

Mumbai, India, October 13, 2026 -- Immersive brand experience design studio LUCERRÁ has received FWA’s Site Of The Day recognition for August 23, 2026, alongside Orpetron’s Site Of The Month recognition for August 2026. The dual recognitions honor the studio’s digital platform, built upon founder Hardik Bhansali’s Obsession Engineering design framework.


Founded in 2021 by CEO and Design Director Hardik Bhansali, LUCERRÁ, formerly known as Visual Identity Studio prior to its 2026 rebranding, creates cinematic, interactive digital environments by combining story architecture, real-time motion, and web technology.


The award-winning interactive platform serves as a direct implementation of Hardik Bhansali’s published book and research paper, Obsession Engineering: Science of Story, Control & Identity (published September 1, 2025). The research outlines structural mechanisms specifically sensory imprinting, identity hooks, and control loops designed to transform digital interactions into memorable, long-term brand equity.


"Story, control, and identity guide every interface and cinematic space we design," said Hardik Bhansali, founder and CEO of LUCERRÁ. "Obsession Engineering bridges psychological research with spatial web design to construct digital experiences that resonate long after a user leaves the site."


Through LUCERRÁ, Bhansali continues to advance the application of Obsession Engineering across digital products, spatial interfaces, and brand strategy.


The framework is organised around story, control and identity. It considers story architecture, sensory imprinting, identity hooks and control loops as connected elements of experience design, bringing narrative and sensory techniques into the studio’s approach to cinematic, interactive environments.

Adobe study finds 57 per cent of SEA firms stuck in AI’s “Frozen Middle”

Southeast Asian companies are not short of money for AI. Most of them simply can’t get their projects past their own IT and security teams.

Work from anywhere, work all the time: Inside Singapore’s flexibility paradox

When Singapore’s offices emptied out in 2020, flexible work was sold as the cure for an overworked city. Employees would get their commutes back, set their own hours and finally see their families at dinner. Six years on, the cure appears to have come with side effects. According to the Jobstreet by SEEK Singapore Workplace […] The post Work from anywhere, work all the time: Inside Singapore’s flexibility paradox appeared first on e27.

The cost of sequencing a human genome fell from about US$95 million in 2001 to about US$500 by 2022, according to the US National Human Genome Research Institute. Biology became a data business almost overnight. The ability to make sense of that data did not keep pace.

Could a hot inflation print send Bitcoin and Ethereum into freefall?

The cryptocurrency market is going through a difficult stretch. In my view, this selloff is not a story about broken technology or failed projects. It is a story about how tightly digital assets now track the mood of traditional finance. Bitcoin has fallen 2.49 per cent to US$81,755.72 in 24 hours. That move underperforms a […] The post Could a hot inflation print send Bitcoin and Ethereum into freefall? appeared first on e27.

NEU Battery Materials bags US$7.6M to mine lithium from the world’s least-loved battery

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have an awkward reputation among recyclers: they are everywhere, and they are worth very little once they die. Unlike the nickel- and cobalt-rich chemistries that recyclers have chased for a decade, a spent LFP cell offers no precious-metal jackpot. It holds lithium, iron and phosphate, and two of those are […] The post NEU Battery Materials bags US$7.6M to mine lithium from the world’s least-loved battery appeared first on e27.

“Social impact” is one of the most overused phrases in a Southeast Asian pitch deck. Founders apply the label to themselves, and in a funding winter it gets stretched to cover almost anything with a farmer, a recycling bin or an “underserved” customer in the slide.

How a detour saved a Malaysian trekker from jaws of deadly Nepal floods

It was a detour that saved his life. Malaysian Low Hock Meng, a 71-year-old veteran trekker, had set off on his own in Nepal. He wanted to explore the Tamang trail, Langtang Valley and Gosaikunda. Along his journey, he made the decision to visit the Nagathali viewpoint for a glimpse of Tibet on August 25. Low then made his way down towards Thuman en route to Lingling in Nepal’s Bagmati province on August 26. That is when he realised that something was seriously wrong. When he looked at Syapru...
