Dear friend,
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing design grow from a niche discipline into a driving force of innovation and impact. Today, we find ourselves at a powerful intersection, where design meets entrepreneurship and AI amplifies human potential.
That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce DesignPitch 2025 — a global startup challenge designed exclusively for designers, dreamers, and change-makers ready to shape the future.
This is more than a contest.
It’s a platform to think like a founder, to lead with design, and to transform your ideas into startups that matter.
Whether you're a student sketching ideas in your notebook, a UX designer prototyping a solution, or a creative professional with a vision for impact, DesignPitch is for you.
What’s in it for you?
🌍 Build meaningful products that solve real-world problems
🤖 Integrate AI, sustainability, and accessibility by design
🎤 Pitch your idea on the global stage at UXINDIA 2025
💡 Get mentored by founders, investors, and design leaders
🚀 Win visibility and support to take your idea to the next level
Why now?
We’re living in a time when design is no longer a service — it’s a strategic superpower. It’s time for designers to not just build for others, but to build our own ventures. DesignPitch is your opportunity to lead that change.
👉 Applications are now open
