The much-awaited Chandigarh Design Festival 2023 at Chitkara University began today with a promising launch, starting with a traditional lamp lighting ceremony, marking the commencement of the two-day festival celebrating the power of design.

The first day of the Chandigarh Design Festival 2023 organised in academic partnership with Chitkara Design School was a resounding success, showcasing the best in innovative design and fashion, and setting the tone for two days of insightful talks and discussions with a stellar line-up of global design leaders.

The day one of the festival witnessed an eclectic mix of thought-provoking speeches and engaging conversations on design, innovation, and sustainability. Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Pro-Chancellor, Chitkara University, commented on the significance of a design festival in an ever-evolving, ‘glocal’ world by saying, “This festival provides an opportunity for the global design community to showcase their latest works, exchange ideas, and collaborate on new projects at a local scale, and this is where the seeds lie of a lasting impact on our society. In today’s rapidly evolving world, where innovation is the key to success, this festival serves as a platform to explore new frontiers of design and push the boundaries of what is possible.”
