Speaking on the Virtual Awards,

manufacturing processes were at a halt
due to the lockdown but this didn’t
stop some genius minds to focus on
innovations in designs. So we thought
why not get these designs to actual
pieces and the only motivating factor
was to organize a competition, get a
grand jury to do their bit and bring out
the best in creativity and innovation in
design. It’s our 10th edition so we had
to do something different & unusual &
so far we’ve done a great job.”
