Life at Our Campus






Director's Word
Designers today face increasingly complex and impactful challenges. Yet, when we evaluate how design education is delivered, we often find that the most valuable aspects of a designer’s perspective and process are not explicitly taught. Many professionals only gain these skills accidentally, through years of industry experience.
At our Ahmedabad campus, we believe this gap must be addressed with intention. We are committed to creating a curriculum that blends proven educational practices with real-world insights, ensuring our students are industry-ready from day one. By fostering a strong practitioner community and cultivating expert faculty, we aim to fully unlock the transformative power of design in the 21st century.
