GVCC was the initiative we had taken forward as a brand with that aim and with the VC Live we hope to reach a larger audience digitally. We are hoping that this extended support with design thinking insights will be beneficial for the community.”
Ms. Sneha Ullal and Ms. Mrinalini Ghadiok, Curators, Godrej Value Co-Creators Live commented “We are very excited to be curating the first initiative for the Godrej Value Co-Creators Club. We will be going live with a series of conversations with architecture and design stalwarts as well as young talent, discussing subjects that champion and challenge all of us, as creators and consumers of creativity. We will be addressing various aspects of what makes design conscious and how one can design consciously—what it means, what it entails and how it can be achieved. Both of us are moved by narratives of processes and collaborating with Godrej, a treasure trove built on a long legacy, driven by innovation and catering to our most elementary as well as exceptional needs, has been enthralling.”
The first edition of the annual awards ‘The GeeVees’ was also announced recently and its theme follows conscious design that would impact our future. The first episode of VC Live, ‘Unlocking Safety through Design’ will introduce the idea and explore what truly makes a project ‘conscious’, what it means, what it entails and how it can be achieved.
Through initiatives like this, Godrej Locks under GVCC aims to establish a strong connection with the AID community and empower futuristic designs. Which will further help in knowledge exchange and free flow of information.
