Presenting The India Design Forum – Interview with Co founder, Aishwarya Pathy
The India Design Forum is a celebration of India’s distinctive design aesthetic and the ways in which it continues its conversation with the international design world. The India Design Forum (IDF) was founded by well known business woman, art collector and design aficionado Rajshree Pathy and her daughter Aishwarya Pathy in 2012. It is one of the most prominent and influential design platforms in India. The IDF is an interdisciplinary platform on design which promotes a dialog on the core issues impacting our society and how they can be tackled with good design examples and solutions. This year IDF is in Mumbai at NCPA, 15th & 16th, March 2013. So all those design lovers out there, brace yourself for a long and exciting week of design.
We caught up with the co-founder Aishwarya Pathy to give you an insight into her world.
