Pune (Maharashtra) [India], August 18: The DesignIndia Show (TDS), puts the spotlight on India's most promising young designers. "India's Best Design Student" Awards celebrate emerging talent, recognising designers who will define the next era of innovation, craft, and problem-solving.
Since 2016, IBDA has honoured design excellence across the professional and academic spectrum. The student category is a commitment to nurturing emerging talent and building a strong foundation for the future of design in India. These winners embody curiosity, skill, and the courage to challenge conventions, qualities that are essential for the leaders of tomorrow.
