The Digital Personal Data Protection – DPDP 2023 bill that has become law sets out your responsibilities in handling and processing digital data while upholding the rights of individuals in India. For those violating digital privacy in India, substantial penalties wil jolt you: from a minimum of Rs 50 crores to a maximum of Rs 250 crores. In Episode 03, From Ekta Rohra Lahiri you clearly need to know what’s going to happen to you and your work as a Designer through the lens of the DPDP 2023 legislation.
As a new initiative by DesignRev, we expand and evolve the Design Revolution we kickstarted from India in Sep 2014 through The Chat Bubble.

TEDx: Design with Emptiness | Niyam Bhushan
The world is not frugal by Design. We may have all the abundance, colours, flowers, and joys of the world. Beyond all these forms lies emptiness. For Nature does not abhor the vacuum. According to Design the vacuum is the womb of Nature. So what is the purpose of Design long after all the forms are forgotten? What defines the inner discipline of the Designer? In this TEDx talk delivered in Hyderabad, Niyam offers deep insights that change the narrative of minimalism design as practised in the West, and reveals its true meanings and origins from the ancient design principles of India and the Orient.
