The project seeks to explore the holistic landscape of Indian design from production to consumption. By addressing the gap in design history education and challenging Euro-centric narratives, this 18-month project will create a comprehensive web resource. Deliverables include audio/video interviews, interactive meta-timelines, and perspectives on design, forming the foundation for research papers, MOOCs, textbooks, exhibitions, and a symposium on Indian design
