Orange Chowk started with a simple frustration, creatives in India weren't being seen for what they truly do.
And over time, something shifted. They stopped seeing it themselves.
Creatives shaped culture once.
They still do. They just stopped believing it.
The ability to make people think, feel, build, remember... it's still theirs. It always was.
We're just here to help them see it again. The proof exists. We just keep bringing it to the creatives.
What pulled us to Bombay Duck Design is its way of seeing.
The ability to notice things most people walk past. A signboard. A vehicle. A street corner. A visual language hiding in plain sight.
And that matters, especially now. Because creatives are exposed to more references than ever before, yet often spend less time observing the world directly around them.
What Sameer's work reminds us is that a point of view is not something you discover overnight. It is built through years of paying attention. Through curiosity. Through repeatedly returning to the things that genuinely fascinate you.
And that's why this conversation matters. Because creatives need to hear from people who have developed a distinct voice not by following trends, but by learning how to observe more deeply.
And that's why this feels like the kind of conversation that belongs with Sameer Kulavoor and Zeenat Kulavoor, at Bombay Duck Design.
- orange chowk.
We built this because creatives need a room like this.If Bombay Duck Design believes that too, let's figure out what doing this together looks like.
We want that to be with Sameer Kulavoor and Zeenat Kulavoor, at Bombay Duck Design, with a curated room of creatives and designers from the community.
The question on the table: What does it take to develop a point of view that is unmistakably your own? No stage. No script. Just the room.
