Most people think that it’s the first edition of something is the biggest achievement, and while that might certainly be true, the second one means a little more. It means that an idea had staying power. So, when we heard that The India Story was gearing up for it’s second coming, an announcement blog was kinda the obvious choice. For those of you who missed round 1 last year, TIS is a curated design exposition for products, that are of Indian origin and aesthetics, from the definitive names of our country to newer voices and artists from all aesthetic fields. This year the event is being held from the 20th to the 23rd of October, 2016.
