This Year’s Theme

Architecture and design are part of a creative industry that’s constantly evolving. The last two decades, especially, have witnessed a major transition. With the pandemic and the current climate crisis forcing us to question the way we live, eat, travel and consume things, design plays a central role in rethinking our future by helping us navigate spatially. It offers solutions for an environmentally sustainable future, a human-centric approach, versatile living, efficient usage of our resources and more, helping us seek a Conscious Life!

At Conscious Collective, an initiative by Godrej Design Lab, we seek to bring together professionals from the industry to celebrate this conscious future. Our objective is to bring together like-minded professionals who will reimagine a more sustainable future and act as ambassadors to explore possibilities of a world that is much healthier and greener for us and for our future generations. Design patrons from Mumbai and beyond will celebrate the possibility of a conscious future through installations, concept designs, workshops, conversations and more.

A Godrej Design Lab Initiative

Godrej Design Lab is an initiative of Godrej Enterprise Group to encourage and advance design excellence and exploration. It is our way to reach out and collaborate on multiple fronts with the ever growing Indian design ecosystem. Since 2015, we have worked with talented individuals, firms, and organizations to explore how design can innovate and impact, making pioneering strides in the areas of product and architectural design, material development and social impact.

How GDL supports Conscious Collective

Godrej Design Lab exhibits the Fellowship work within our flagship event, Conscious Collective, and finds opportunities throughout the year for meaningful plug-ins to industry forums and showcases.

Additionally, we have an amazing team of passionate storytellers, interviewers, videographers, and photographers who, throughout the year, adventure out to where our Fellows’ projects take place, to uncover the deeper stories of place, material, and people.
