Do, Be, Do – Celebrating Indian Design Practice
JSDA hosts the Association of Designers of India's annual meetup, bringing together designers, architects, educators, and students for a dynamic exploration of contemporary Indian design.
JSDA hosted the ADI DoBeDo 2025 event in collaboration with the Association of Designers of India (ADI), one of the country's most prominent platforms for design professionals. DoBeDo—standing for "Do, Be, Do"—reflects the spirit of action, identity, and iterative practice that defines the design community.
This October 2025 edition was a dynamic gathering of designers, architects, educators, and students, creating a fertile ground for dialogue on the state of Indian design, emerging practices, and the responsibilities of designers in an era of rapid technological and social change.
The collaboration between JSDA and ADI underscores the school's commitment to connecting academic learning with professional practice. By hosting India's premier design community on campus, JSDA students gained unprecedented access to mentors, role models, and creative leaders who are shaping the future of design in India and globally.
