I have 4  years of work experience in Broadcast Media, Retail, Graphic Design and also spent some time exploring filmmaking and my love for photography. I am presently pursuing my M.F.A. in Design Management at Savannah College of Art & Design, Savannah, GA. 

This blog is dedicated to investigating the future of "Glocalization"  which  is blurring the boundaries between globalization and localization of design. I will embark on a journey to unpack local to its bare bones only to reconstruct a framework and ranking of the various local aspects. (Like local food, local fashion, local travel, local art, local creative businesses etc.) through an ethnographic study. I will apply these insights to "reframe" local to construct design thinking models for creative design processes for developed and emerging markets. I also intend to through this thesis, gather systemic ways to forecast Local trends for Glocal contexts using Local collaborative and interactive participatory exhibit(s).

In short this space will be a melting pot of my learnings, insights, reflections and contemplations as I move further along in my thesis. 

I will eagerly look forward to and appreciate your comments, questions and feedback.";s:6:"emails";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:7:"primary";s:4:"true";s:5:"value";s:23:"deeptikundras@gmail.com";}}s:8:"accounts";a:2:{i:0;a:6:{s:6:"domain";s:12:"facebook.com";s:7:"display";s:12:"facebook.com";s:3:"url";s:48:"http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=873180612";s:8:"username";s:12:"facebook.com";s:8:"verified";s:4:"true";s:9:"shortname";s:8:"facebook";}i:1;a:6:{s:6:"domain";s:11:"twitter.com";s:7:"display";s:14:"@deeptikundras";s:3:"url";s:32:"http://twitter.com/deeptikundras";s:8:"username";s:13:"deeptikundras";s:8:"verified";s:4:"true";s:9:"shortname";s:7:"twitter";}}s:4:"urls";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:5:"value";s:20:"http://playupinc.com";s:5:"title";s:6:"PlayUp";}}}}}
