From the desk of the President

“Design education should build character, craft and courage.”

As President of IID, I see design as a national strength. Our students should learn to observe India, understand people and create work that is useful, original and responsible.

The Board, leaders and faculty are here to protect academic quality and to give every student a clear path from first sketch to professional practice.

With regards, President

Section 03

From the desk of the Managing Director

“Do not just prepare students for the future. Prepare them to create the future.”

At IID, our work is to build an institution where design education is practical, human and future-ready. We want every student to leave with a strong portfolio, professional confidence and the courage to create.

The Board, academic leaders and faculty share one responsibility: to turn classrooms and studios into places where thinking, making and entrepreneurship grow together.

With best wishes, Managing Director
