By acknowledging the significance of women’s day, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a more inclusive, equitable, and just society. It is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made, the obstacles still to be overcome, and the collective efforts required to achieve true gender parity. In our special feature titled Design that Empowers we shift our focus to spaces designed for women. In our Editorial Director, Sonal Das’s words, “Places where women aren’t an afterthought but the foundation.” From schools, to vocational training centres, to walkways, these projects reinforce the fact that change is happening. In our cover feature, we delve into the fascinating world of first-generation design entrepreneurs Disha Bhavsar and Shivani Ajmera who are redefining the Indian design landscape. From navigating uncharted territories to creating innovative designs that blend tradition with modernity, these young visionaries share their unique perspectives and experiences.
