It's been an amazing experience being a part of the Circular Design Challenge. We have had a chance to interact and get to know a lot of like minded people with very inspiring stories. It's been an amazing journey for us and I would definitely encourage emerging entrepreneurs to apply.    

To participate and win CDC has been a turning point for our brand. It helped us explore new territories in circularity and gave us the confidence to become a leading name in circular fashion in India and abroad.        

It is an immense privilege to be able to share the journey of some of India’s most talented designers via our mentoring for CDC. They say India is the most interesting future market, but we know that its fashion and textile traditions are as old as time. That marriage of antiquity and modernity via ethics, sustainability and creativity is what fashion should be all about, and CDC encapsulates it fully.

Circular Design Challenge gives the chance to the new generation to express their creativity in a responsible way. Nowadays it is fundamental to support projects that work for a better future and think the best way to do less harm to the planet. CDC is a unique platform that above visibility also mentors and forms the designers.

Hearing from the brilliant finalists at the Circular Design Challenge was a highlight of my year. I haven’t stopped talking about them ever since! CDC does the vital work of searching out and platforming emerging innovators with fascinating ideas for doing fashion differently. It’s a much-needed breath of fresh air to be involved with an initiative focused on solutions. Truly inspiring!

Having been associated with CDC for the last couple of seasons I have found it to be an extremely impactful platform for the participants and winners alike. Seeing past participants pave their way forward with the springboard that this platform provides through support and visibility has been very motivating. It is definitely a platform that supports impactful solutions for a more conscious tomorrow.
