What Our Famous Alumni Have to Say

Jigar Mali – Fashion Design Batch 2019, Owner of JigarMali Designs Private Limited

“Back in my final year, I remember staying late in the lab, struggling with a design patttern. One of my mentors sat beside me for hours, walking me through the smallest details. That patience and real-world guidance gave me the confidence to eventually launch my own label, JigarMali Designs.”

Sanjyt Singh – Interior Design Batch 1996, Creative Director & Founder of Spaces + Objects

“One project we worked on at JD required us to transform a typical living room into a modern space.  I still remember how my lecturers encouraged me to view design as a whole lifestyle, not just as walls and furnishings.  I now approach each space I build differently because of that project.”

Padma Yangchan – Fashion Design Batch 2015, Designer at Namza Couture & Namza Dining  and also a receiver of Nari Shakti Puraskar Award

“During a textile module, we had to work hands-on with local fabrics. I spent weeks experimenting with natural dyes and traditional patterns. It was tough, but the process gave me a deep respect for craft and storytelling through design- something I carry forward every day in my work.

Nitin Kartikeya – Fashion Design Batch 2013, Founder Director at Kartikeya

“We had to do some practical work using local fabrics during a textile workshop.  For weeks, I experimented with traditional designs and natural dyes.  Although the process was challenging, I gained a deep admiration for craftsmanship and design narrative, which I use in my work every day.”
