Discussion Sessions at Your Establishment
The Indian Institute of Art Design is hosting a series of monthly webinars called Design Talks, providing students with valuable insights into industry trends, technological innovation, sustainability, ethics in fashion, and building a design sense.
These webinars feature experts from both the Indian and international design sphere. Notable speakers include Sonia Manchanda, a design strategist, graphic designer, and designpreneur with over 20 years of experience in the design industry. Sonia is also a founding partner at Spread Design + Learning.

Rohit's extensive portfolio includes leading successful projects like 'Frugal innovation' for Ginger 'Smart' hotels and for multiple industries like Tata Housing, Essar Group, and GE Healthcare. He also helped design the iconic 100m long "Mudra" installation at the new T3 airport terminal in New Delhi.
