What really is “great”? Of course, it’s very subjective but there’s a common thread that runs across – of recognition. Things have to be recognized by a larger audience for it to move to the final frontier of being considered as great. It isn’t very different from design.

 

NASSCOM Design4India Design Awards aims to spur innovation, particularly on technology product design, that is simple yet underlies a powerful product to exemplify how an “experience” ought to be.

 

It’s our maiden venture but a great opportunity for those who are design-led – professionals and organisations – to showcase in front of a large audience.

 

Can I apply?

 

Most certainly, if you fall under:

 

  • A company (irrespective of size); Design Studios; Non-profit orgs as well. It should be borne in mind that whatever be the nature of the venture, it should have originated in India / driven from India.
