ISDI School of Design & Innovation Claim

ISDI (iss-dee), inaugurated its founding batch of under- and postgraduate studies in July 2013, committing to a new educational model, inspired by the idea of design and innovation as transformative forces in society. We believe: disciplines of design and innovation play a significant role in addressing issues of economic development and social improvement. These challenges take on a special urgency in India, where a growing population and a rapidly evolving society crucially needs a strong design intervention. Located in the dynamic coastal city of Mumbai, ISDI offers a series of globally benchmarked Undergraduate Programs (UGP), four-year intensive programs (foundation year plus three-year specialization) for students across the disciplines of fashion, interior, product, and communication design. Opportunities to engage in design education for graduates and young professionals started in September 2013, with the launch of ISDI’s one-year Post-Graduate Program (PGP). The admissions for 2020 are now open.
