At Suchitra Academy, creativity isn’t just encouraged-it’s celebrated! Our Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) program is designed to provide students with diverse artistic experiences, offering dedicated periods for sculpting, painting, drawing, music, dance, and theatre. Through this immersive approach, we ensure that every child has the opportunity to explore and express their creativity while developing essential skills such as confidence, collaboration, and artistic discipline.

Exhibits at Biscope 2025, Suchitra Academy

One of the most anticipated events in our school’s cultural calendar is Bioscope, an annual extravaganza of art and performance, which brings together students from Nursery to Grade XI in a vibrant showcase of talent and imagination. This year’s Bioscope 2025, held on 25th January, was nothing short of spectacular, offering a kaleidoscope of artistic expression across various disciplines.

A Stage Brimming with Talent

The event kicked off with a spellbinding musical performance, where young vocalists and instrumentalists captivated the audience with soulful melodies and rhythmic beats. Their passion for music was evident in every note, setting the perfect tone for an evening filled with artistic brilliance.

The stage then came alive with energetic dance routines that blended traditional and contemporary styles. From classical Indian dance forms to high-energy modern choreography, the performances were a testament to the students dedication and hard work. Every movement, expression, and rhythm reflected months of training and a deep love for the performing arts.

A highlight of the evening was the theatre presentation, where students delivered a compelling performance that left the audience mesmerized. With powerful storytelling, expressive acting, and thought-provoking themes, the play showcased their ability to weave emotions into a narrative that resonated with viewers of all ages.

Art Beyond the Canvas

While the stage dazzled with performances, the art exhibition was an equally enthralling experience. This year’s theme, “Underwater,” transported visitors into a world of marine wonders. From breathtaking depictions of coral reefs to surreal interpretations of oceanic life, students used vivid colors, intricate brush strokes, and innovative techniques to bring the depths of the sea to life.

Adding another layer of artistic brilliance, students also paid tribute to the legendary Vincent van Gogh. Inspired by his iconic techniques, they recreated masterpieces with their unique touch, seamlessly blending bold strokes, swirling patterns, and emotional depth to honor the post-impressionist master. The fusion of these two themes made for an awe-inspiring visual experience, drawing praise from visitors and art enthusiasts alike.

More Than Just an Event-A Celebration of Creativity

Bioscope is more than just an annual event; it is a platform where students discover their artistic voices, build confidence, and embrace creative exploration.

Online food delivery in the country started roughly in 2014 with the boom in startups. But the Online food delivery industry faced several challenges. While they gained some traction, there were significant issues related to user experience, delivery times, and logistical inefficiencies. They struggled to meet the diverse needs of its users and restaurant partners, leading to inconsistent service quality and customer dissatisfaction.

SRM AP Collaborates with ASCI for a 3-day Workshop

However, when the online food delivery industry considered the needs and necessities of the stakeholders and connected with the stakeholders with innovative ideas, they – moved on to the path of success.

Industry that connected with the relevant stakeholders, plugged-in Innovation and were iterative – as it is in the case of Online food delivery industry – achieved significant success.

And this approach of connecting with the relevant stakeholders and adopting innovative ideas is DESIGN THINKING.

What is Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a framework for solving complex problems and discovering new opportunities. At its core, it is about understanding and empathizing with the people for whom you are designing, brainstorming creative solutions, and iterating through prototypes to find the best possible outcome. This approach is not limited to product design-it can be applied to processes, systems, and even social issues.

When is Design Thinking Best suited

Design Thinking becomes handy to address challenges or problems for which either he/she does have a direct solution or is confronted with multiple confusing solutions.

Design Thinking is the best suit approach to address problems working in collaboration with all the stakeholders – connecting with them emotionally to know their pain points and come out with an innovative and iterative solution. In the modern world – a consumer driven market, the ability to innovate and adapt is critical for success.

What makes Design Thinking so special

Design Thinking has come to stay mainly of it being:

• Built on a strong foundation of Human Centricity, Innovation and being Iterative.

• A non-linear approach – that enables to arrive at the best possible solution based on the feedback at any stage of the process

• A systematic process that is thoroughly tested at every stage of the process to arrive at a solution that works for all and gets success

The Phases of Design Thinking

Design Thinking typically involves five key phases:

1. Empathize: The first step is to gain a deep understanding of the problem, and the pain points that one is trying to solve.

2. Define: In this phase, one synthesizes his findings from the Empathize phase to define the core problem.

3. Ideate: Once there is a clear problem statement, it is time to generate ideas to address the Defined problem statement.

4. Prototype: This phase involves visualize potential solutions and identify any flaws early on.

5. Test & Implement: Testing involves putting your prototypes in front of real users to gather feedback and finally go for implementation.

The Role of Innovation

Innovation has a big place in Design Thinking to address problems with human centricity. Innovation is about challenging the status quo and pushing boundaries to create something entirely new.

Innovation is the application of Design Thinking principles to create new and effective solutions. It goes beyond incremental improvements to deliver breakthrough products, services, and processes that add significant value.

Innovation that is Iterative – makes it more viable and adoptable.

Benefits of Design Thinking and Innovation

1. User-Centred: Design Thinking prioritizes the needs and experiences of users, leading to solutions that are more effective and satisfying.

2. Collaborative: The process encourages teamwork and leverages diverse perspectives, fostering a culture of creativity and cooperation.

3. Iterative: By continuously testing and refining ideas, Design Thinking reduces the risk of failure and increases the likelihood of success.

4. Creative Confidence: It empowers individuals and teams to think creatively and take risks, promoting a mindset of experimentation and learning.

The roadmap of Design Thinking in India

The future roadmap for Design Thinking and innovation in India is ambitious and forward-looking. By fostering a culture of innovation, integrating Design Thinking in education, supporting through government policies, adopting digital transformation, encouraging collaboration, focusing on sustainability, and continuously measuring impact, India is poised to become a global leader adopting Design Thinking.

Barriers for implementing Design Thinking in India

Implementing Design Thinking in India faces several barriers

• Misfit with Existing Processes: Many organizations have established processes and structures that may not align well with the iterative and flexible nature of Design Thinking.

• Weak Organizational Culture: A lack of openness to experimentation and innovation can hinder the adoption of Design Thinking.

• Resource Constraints: Limited financial and human resources can restrict the ability to invest in Design Thinking initiatives.

• Lack of Awareness and Understanding: Many organizations and individuals may not fully understand what Design Thinking entails and its benefits

• Resistance to Change: Employees and management may be resistant to adopting new methodologies, preferring to stick with familiar practices

• Educational Gaps: There is a need for better collaboration between businesses and educational institutions to promote Design Thinking skills

How to overcome these barriers

All the barriers that are explained can be overcome through:

• Education and Training

• Leadership Support

• Resource allocation

• Taking baby steps

• Cross functional teams

And most importantly understanding and appreciation of the urgent need to bring in a cultural shift and approach to adopt Design Thinking.

GenAI and Design Thinking

Generative AI (GenAI) is set to revolutionize the landscape of Design Thinking and innovation in India in several impactful ways. As Indian industries embrace GenAI, they are poised to achieve unprecedented levels of innovation and success.

By integrating GenAI into Design Thinking, organizations can accelerate the innovation process, reduce time-to-market, and create more user-centric solutions.

GenAI would enhance the capabilities of Design Thinking in

• Defining the Problem statement with data analytics and data extrapolation

• Idea Generation,

• Prototyping,

• User Feedback

• Collaboration

Path to Success

By embracing Design Thinking, Indian Industries can develop innovative solutions, improve customer experiences, drive business growth and contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals.

To get on to the path of adopting Design Thinking and reap the benefits Indian Industry has to:

• Dispel the misconceptions about Design Thinking: Many Indian Executives view Design Thinking as only relevant for product design or creativity rather than holistic business approach.

• Create Awareness: Create awareness to the Indian business of the benefits and the wide application of Design Thinking.

• Education and Training: Indian Business schools offer mentoring Design Thinking from Undergraduate level

• Training Workshops: Offer industry specific mentoring workshops on Design Thinking

Conclusion

Design Thinking and Innovation are transformative processes that can help organizations tackle complex challenges and seize new opportunities. By putting the user at the centre, fostering creativity, and embracing an iterative approach, these methodologies unlock the potential for groundbreaking solutions that drive growth and success.

To mark the beginning of the ICC Champions Trophy, Parimatch Sports, a high-quality sportswear brand inspired by the world’s top athletes, has launched a unique billboard campaign that captures the excitement, passion, and aspirations of Indian cricket fans.

Parimatch Sports Rolls Out Eye-Catching Billboard Campaign to Celebrate the ICC Champions Trophy

With the much-anticipated India vs. Pakistan match on February 23, Parimatch Sports has installed a double-sided billboard in Bangalore, delivering a compelling message of rivalry and determination.

One side of the billboard features an image of the Pakistani cricket team, celebrating a Champions Trophy victory. However, there is a crucial detail-the trophy is missing. Instead of being held high in triumph, a cut-out hole replaces the cup, leaving a noticeable void in the image. Below this eye-catching visual is an intriguing message that fuels anticipation, “The men in blue are coming.”

On the reverse side of the billboard, the perspective shifts. The image showcases the Indian cricket team holding the Champions Trophy, reinforcing the belief that the title belongs back in India. The accompanying message states, “Champions Return for Payback!”

The last edition of the ICC Champions Trophy took place in 2017, where Pakistan secured their first-ever title. This victory remains one of the most talked-about moments in the tournament’s history, adding extra significance to this year’s competition. Now, eight years later, India is determined to reclaim the trophy and turn the tables in this historic rivalry.

This initiative captures the intensity of the tournament and the aspirations of Indian cricket fans. As the world’s top cricketing nations compete for supremacy, Parimatch Sports stands in support of India’s pursuit of the title, celebrating the spirit of cricket and bringing fans closer to the action.

“The ICC Champions Trophy is more than just a tournament; it’s a stage where history is made and rivalries are reignited. With this billboard, we wanted to reflect the passion and unwavering belief of Indian fans. The missing trophy is a statement-India is coming for it. Through bold storytelling and innovative visuals, we are engaging cricket enthusiasts and celebrating the excitement of the game,” commented the Parimatch Sports Press Office.

Located in Bangalore, the billboard was unveiled ahead of India’s crucial clash against Pakistan on February 23, reinforcing the competitive spirit of the event.
