Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) showcased a range of student-led innovations addressing issues such as healthcare, women’s safety, waste management, sustainability and urban challenges at Design Flux 2026, the annual degree show of the University’s School of Design and Innovation (USDI).
The exhibition featured projects, prototypes and research work developed by nearly 70 graduating students. According to the university, the projects reflected the growing focus on design-led problem-solving across sectors, combining technology with user-centric approaches.
The event was inaugurated by Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma, Vice Chancellor of GGSIPU, in the presence of industry representatives including Pankaj Saxena, Founder and Director of Ewandz Digital Pvt. Ltd., and Deepti Gupta, Design Director at Accenture.
Curated under the guidance of Prof. Arvinder Kaur, Dean of USDI, the exhibition highlighted solutions aimed at addressing challenges in pediatric healthcare, employment support, accessibility and sustainability. Students presented work spanning interaction design, product design, service design, user experience and digital innovation.
Addressing the gathering, Prof. Verma described Design Flux as a reflection of movement, evolution and the coming together of diverse ideas. He said design is central to addressing many contemporary challenges, particularly at a time when technology is transforming industries and everyday life.
He added that while technology may disrupt existing systems, design plays a key role in shaping experiences, solving problems and creating meaningful social impact. He also reiterated the university’s support for innovation and entrepreneurship through its startup and innovation ecosystem.
The event also recognised the achievements of students who have secured opportunities with industry and international institutions. According to the university, students Dhruv and Aryan Singh have received placements with Swiggy and Zomato, while Arpita Talwar has secured a 70 per cent scholarship for the Design Thinking Programme at California State University in the United States.
USDI currently has around 500 students enrolled across its undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes.
