Why We Exist
What Makes Us Different
Design POV is built on a simple belief: design is not neutral.
To move beyond transactional formats that prioritise display over dialogue.
We don't exist in isolation. We’re built through collaboration and experienced in context.

Become a part of a design led platform like no other.
There is a moment at every industry event that no one programmes, yet everyone attends.
It happens in the margins—between panels, outside exhibition halls, over hurried coffees. Conversations loosen. Opinions sharpen. Real exchanges unfold. Ideas, unfiltered by format, find their voice.
For Asif Sataar and Gagan Bhatia, that moment wasn’t incidental. It was the point.
What was the real trigger behind Design POV?
“ It was actually quite simple. We were listening. Not inside exhibition halls, but outside them. The most meaningful conversations about design, about business, about ideas - were happening on the periphery. That’s where people were most honest, most open. ”
“ And it made us question the format itself. If the real value is happening outside, then what is the platform doing wrong? We’d been part of this world long enough to see networking become mechanical, almost performative. Commerce was front and centre, and design was getting lost somewhere along the way. ”
