Showcasing India’s Automotive Design Innovation at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025

Delhi-NCR : Indian School for Design of Automobiles (INDEA), in collaboration with XLRI-Delhi NCR will participate in the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi, showcasing its commitment to nurturing world-class design talent and driving the ‘Design in India, Design for the World’ vision, as articulated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. As India’s first dedicated super-specialization school for automobile design and design management, INDEA is a pioneering institution that supports the nation’s aspiration to become a $5 trillion economy and a global innovation leader.

Recognizing the automobile industry as a key driver of India’s economic growth, INDEA aims to empower the sector with highly skilled world-class design professionals. The school’s presence at the Expo underscores its dedication to bridging the talent gap and establishing India as a global leader in automotive design.

At the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, INDEA aims to highlight its pivotal role in India’s design revolution. By engaging with manufacturers, policymakers, and design experts, the institution seeks to build strategic partnerships that will advance the ‘Design in India’ movement, establish a distinctive ‘Indian Design DNA,’ and train students to create vehicles catering to both domestic and international markets. These initiatives will contribute to the country’s economic growth and solidify India’s position as a leader in automotive innovation and design.

Dr. Fr. K.S. Casimir, Director of XLRI Delhi-NCR, expressed his thoughts on the participation, “XLRI’s focus on holistic development extends beyond the classroom and into the real world. INDEA, by being part of the XLRI Delhi-NCR ecosystem, benefits from this approach, nurturing designers who understand the broader societal and environmental implications of their work. INDEA’s presence at the Bharat Mobility Expo underscores our commitment to shaping the future of mobility responsibly and sustainably, designing vehicles that are not only innovative and efficient but also aligned with the needs of a better and more sustainable world.”

Design is the ultimate value creator and multiplier which will not only help the nation achieve its economic goals but also establish India as a creative powerhouse. We’re not just building a school; we’re building a movement. This Expo provides the perfect platform to showcase our unique approach to automotive design education – one that blends creative intuition with deep industry knowledge, global perspectives, and hands-on experience. We are here to connect with industry leaders, inspire the next generation of designers, and demonstrate how INDEA is bridging the talent gap and driving India’s ambition to become a global leader in automotive design and innovation.”
