Design deserves deeper engagement than just visual. Design POV ’26 was built around that conviction with every space in The Core and discussion at The Circle enunciating just that.

POV Quest, a live trivia challenge, took that idea and made it competitive. Curated and executed by Knowledge Partner Eztablish Design, in collaboration with POV Quest Partner The Stone Casa and Gifting Partner India Circus, the format sent participants onto the exhibition floor first. They walked through the installations, absorbed the details, and took note of what they saw. Then they sat down at the buzzers and found out how closely they had been looking. More than 45 designers, architects, and design enthusiasts took their place at the buzzers at The Workshop Zone.

POV Quest turned observation into a practice and attention into a skill, which is, in many ways, exactly what Design POV '26 was asking of everyone who walked through its doors.

The final day brought the format to its most fitting close. At The Circle, POV Quest hosted a special round with three members of The Core: Nistas Sanga of Talati and Partners, Ali Baldiwala of Baldiwala Edge, and Shimona Bhansali of Design Hex. These were the people who had conceived and built the installations, now being tested on each other's work.

Moments from POV Quest and the broader show will be making their way across Design POV's social channels in the coming weeks. Watch our page to catch recaps, highlights, and everything in between.
