About Jaipur Design Week
Jaipur Design Week (JDW) is a hands-on design festival that brings together students, professionals, and educators for an immersive week of making, dialogue, and experimentation.
More than an event, JDW functions as a live design lab where ideas are tested, processes are shared openly, and conversations move beyond theory into practice. It prioritizes participation over passive listening, encouraging learning through doing.
Rooted in Jaipur’s cultural context yet forward-looking in vision, JDW positions design as an active, evolving force that both responds to its surroundings and shapes what comes next.
