WEDIDx - An Innovative Global Platform Built by & for Industrial Designers

WEDIDx officially launches today as a global platform dedicated to transforming India's product design and ecosystem. It is developed as a design engine for 'Make in India.' WEDIDx brings together designers, innovators, manufacturers, and colleges to spur innovation and produce world-class products with purpose.
As India is becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse, WEDIDx highlights the critical point that India needs to improve. By embedding design within the manufacturing landscape, Wedidx will help explore the possibilities of creativity, versatility, and global contention.
"Every product that ends up being successful begins with a great idea. WEDIDx is the ground zero where these ideas are formed, prototyped, and released to the world," said Pulaha Dasgupta, Founder of WEDIDx. "We are not just building a platform - we are sparking a movement for design-led innovation across India."

Narrative: Design-First, Innovation-Led
WEDIDx is founded on the principle that India's future as a manufacturing superpower will not be based on scaling mass production but on design-led, purposeful products with global competitive advantages. The platform provides a dedicated clearinghouse to connect creative design with scalable production while protecting innovation between ideation, real-world prototyping, and production.

Our Mission
To accelerate product design innovation and connect designers, creators, and manufacturers towards making India the global hub for innovative manufacturing.

Supporting the National Manufacturing Mission
WEDIDx is closely aligned to the desired outcomes of the Union Budget 2025-26, National Manufacturing Mission (NMM). WEDIDx is an important key to drive India's aspirations by:

Enabling MSMEs to have design capability, with prototyping assistance and go-to-market avenues.
