Rajesh Kejriwal, founder and CEO, Kyoorius, says, "We are gaining great momentum and greater support not just from the creative industry but rather the entire communications and marketing sphere. The theme for the 2013 edition is 'Create Change' which will push the envelope and challenge creative professionals to use design as a tool to create real change - change that's beyond the aesthetic. This year, we hope print firm CEOs to attend the show; since it's a great opportunity to network and look at new markets."
Kyoorius Designyatra, which figures amongst the top five annual design conferences across the world, has in the past featured inspiring designers from all over the world as speakers, including Kenya Hara, Paula Scher, Stefan Sagmeister, Wally Olins, Michael Johnson, Kyle Cooper, Martin Sorrell and Paul Belford.
Kyoorius is an initiative by Transasia Fine Papers who have been the backers for Kyoorius Designyatra and publications such as Kyoorius Design Showcase and the Kyoorius magazine.
