Abstract

The interministerial group will rework its strategy on labour laws and tweak it in such a manner that it maximises benefits for both workers and employers. In this paper, we outline the manner in which design can help promote the Indian economy. We look at the status of design in India, review the country’s development challenges, discuss the opportunities of a design economy, and make recommendations to enhance design in India. Briefly, we argue that India has competitive advantages in design. But to gain from these possibilities, it is important to develop relevant skills, reform school curricula, set up design labs, strengthen intellectual property rights, and promote greater collaboration between business, government, and academia. Making progress on these issues would enhance India’s overall economy
