Mr. Vynetheya Iyengar has been a Marketing & Branding Industry professional for over 23 years. He is a seasoned business coach, Image Coach, Life Coach, and adjunct faculty in the Fashion Entrepreneur Management, Fashion Marketing & Image Management Area with JD Institute of Fashion Technology Mumbai.

According to Mr. Vynetheya, Why is JD Institute Of Fashion Technology a preferred choice and destination for aspiring designers to be educated and certified ?

I have been living in Dubai, one of the seven emirates and the commercial capital of the United Arab Emirates, since 1999, a little over two decades, and have witnessed the 360-degree transformation of this country, once a sandy coastline in the Arabian Gulf and barren desert land.

Flaunting its dazzling infrastructure amid the vast dunes, the city of Dubai is cushioned along a sandy coastline in the Arabian Gulf. The city buzzes with a potpourri of cultures from all parts of the world, sharing a domain of peace. Once known as barren land, today, this man-made miracle has turned heads like never before.

For Subcontinent people, this is the first and the second home, and generations have settled down and now belong to this place. While buzzing for a design hub Dubai is now an academic hub, transforming the region’s education landscape, especially in the design thinking and innovation domain. The present Gen Z young aspirants want to break away from conventional education, look forward to embracing the creative world, and leave a lasting impression.

While various institutions offer fashion design courses from short-term to career diploma programs, none offer an umbrella career and professional program in interior design and fashion design. In one of the networking forums, I was introduced to JD Institute and browsed through their academic programs; what caught my attention was their wonderful blend of programs that caters to all kinds of knowledge seekers in the design domain. Besides the curriculum, the teaching pedagogy and the ecosystem built by the institute is a phenomenal support system for aspiring students and entrepreneurs to carve a niche in the design world.

Lastly, the institute has a legacy of 34 years of crafting students’ careers in the Design realm. The founding family is committed at the root level to ensure the deliverance to the last mile.
