🌟 UXINDIA25: Design – A Way of Life | Entrepreneurship

Calling All Designpreneurs!

Since 2023, I’ve been saying it loud and clear — designers must become founders. And now, at UMO, we are ready to back you.

With the theme of UXINDIA25 focused on Design as a Way of Life, we’re championing a bold new path: Design + Entrepreneurship. It’s time to move from solving someone else's problems to solving the world’s — on your own terms.

As AI continues to reshape the landscape, many designers fear being replaced. But the real opportunity is this: be the one who builds with AI. Launch your own products. Start your own ventures. The design job of the future is Founder.

Designers already possess the superpowers every founding team needs — empathy, problem-solving, systems thinking, and a sharp eye for quality. What’s stopping us?

At UMO, we’re here to inspire, support, and even fund the next wave of design-led startups. If you’ve already started a venture, we’d love to hear your story. If you’re still building your prototype, come pitch at our DesignPitch: Designpreneur Spotlight.

Submit your story or pitch here: https://2025.ux-india.org/closed-pitch/

Let’s build a future where designers don’t just design products — they design companies.

See you at UXINDIA25.

Warm regards,
Kaladhar Bapu,
Founder & Curator, UMO Design & UXINDIA Conf
