Dear Designers, Founders & Changemakers,
It’s a special moment for me to introduce my professor from IIT Bombay, Prof. Kirti Trivedi, as a keynote speaker at India's biggest conference on UX DESIGN- UXINDIA2025. Few people have influenced my view of design as deeply as he has—and I’m thrilled our community will learn directly from him this year.
The Keynote
Establishing a New Order for Design Education in India
In a post-AI world, Prof. Trivedi will present a bold, India-rooted model for design education—one that leverages our visual heritage and cultural/linguistic diversity, and re-centers equity, rigor, and co-creation in how we learn and practice design.
Why This Matters Now
-
Students & Educators: A roadmap to future-ready curricula.
-
Leaders & Founders: How to build studios that thrive with AI—without losing human judgment.
-
Practitioners: Principles you can apply on Monday morning.
