During the 6-day Cumulus student talent camp, students have the opportunity to visit seven creative industries that represent Indian crafts and cultures, thus preserving Indian heritage through the strength of living traditions. These industries include Nila House, Neerja Blue Pottery, Rangotri, Jaipur Watch Company, Jaipur Rugs, Gomes, and local shops. The aim of these visits is to gain a better understanding of these creative endeavors.

This event is in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a specific focus on various objectives encompassing social, communication, product, and sustainable design. International students visit the clusters and local markets of Jaipur to immerse themselves in the experience of India’s living traditions. Following these visits, students identify the challenges faced by these industries and endeavor to find solutions through the implementation of design thinking and its processes. Notably, the most exciting part is that these students prepare prototypes and present them on the final day of the camp.
