To deliver a holistic design education that prepares students to be responsible contributors to the sustainable development of society. We empower them to identify critical contemporary problems, think independently, challenge outdated solutions, and collaborate creatively to address real-world issues in an increasingly complex global environment.
To equip students with the knowledge, skills, and aptitude to become innovative problem-solvers in design, manufacturing, and product development. We nurture logical thinking, creativity, and quality-driven approaches to deliver design innovations on a global scale, enabling our graduates to excel in higher education, industry, or as successful entrepreneurs.
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.
