The Gurukul School of Design

Gurukul Mission The Gurukul School of Design will be known as an institute that helps students adapt to the changing design needs of our evolving society by nurturing and honing creative individuals to become design professionals of the future, providing them with world class education in combination with traditional values of self-awareness. GSD will focus on the evolution of aesthetics from a global standpoint while encouraging students to look inwardly, while imbibing the Gurukul way of learning.

Why the need for something new? For me, the importance of education was brought in to my life by a couple of incidents, when I was just beginning college. The one that stands out was a serendipitous meeting with a gentleman, Mr. Robert Valtz, who helped me sustain a world class education in New York. His support, with a condition that I would also help others garner quality education in the future, has led me to conceive the idea of establishing a design college. Inspiration also came from my father, Maharaj Shri Swaroop Singh, whose influence trickled down from his philosophy of staying true to the land by utilizing local resources over other materials, hence giving back to the very society that supports you and instilling in me the need to improve and improvise systems for the better, laid the first building blocks of giving back the gift of education through design. In a world where change is the only constant, I strongly believe that the designers of tomorrow need the opportunity to absorb an all-inclusive education. While other design schools propel the idea of focusing on one discipline, the GSD curriculum is truly multidimensional, combining Fashion Design with management and the business of fashion, while staying close to the self through a series of courses on well-being and self-management, all under one program.
