The Forbes India Design Awards celebrate the best talent in the Indian design industry. Drawn from the worlds of architecture and interiors, they recognise a spectrum of architectural and interior practices in India that have evolved to match the best in the world. Covering a range of categories, the awards offer architects and designers a prestigious platform to communicate a shared vision for the future, from culturally integrated city skylines to sustainable urban communities. The Forbes India team has put together a judging panel comprising of the most extraordinary individuals that have shaped Indian architecture and design milieu.
Through the Forbes India Design Awards, we hope to also discover and recognise the emerging talent in architecture and interiors. We will acknowledge the immense good work being done in the fields of conservation and socially responsible architecture by some of India’s most innovative practices, which often do not receive enough attention or appreciation.
