 School of Design & Innovation
Redefining Design Education

Established in 2021, the School of Design and Innovation is more than a teaching (and placement)
machine. It is populated by learners and teachers who enjoy experimentation, inquiry, risk taking, and
evidence-based research and decision making, who enjoy collaborative learning. We see design as
ethical, inclusive, and democratic; and as an act, a product, an experience, and above all, a mindset.

The School of Design and Innovation is driven by

• An integrated approach to sustainability and caring for life and climate;

• The desire to play a central role in shaping discourse around transdisciplinary and inclusive
approaches to design;
• The need to make sense of emergent knowledge paradigms and technologies in/for India.
