Everything begins with a sound.

The cosmos is in constant flux, traveling in circular patterns. Every thought, every object, and every breakthrough resonates at its own unique frequency.

For the India-France Year of Innovation 2026, we looked to the “अणु” (Anu) — the molecule. It is the catalyst of existence and the elixir of thriving life.

We are proud to announce that TDV is the official design partner for this landmark year, working in close collaboration with the Embassy of France in India, the Ministry of France, Business France, and the French Institute in India (Institut Français en Inde).

The identity was officially launched yesterday by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron at the AI Action Summit in India.

At TDV, we do not just teach design; we build the language of the new world.

The Visionaries:

Leadership: Mridu Sahai and Sourabh Gupta

Concept: Vatsal Agrawal

Design: Saansh Arora

Support: Mayank Raj, Anusha Dhawan, and Souvik M.

Witness the unison of universal vibrations.

Driven by instinct and bound by a common dream, we navigate individual paths only to recognize where they converge. This moment marks a gathering of identities shaped by a decade of Villaging, a period defined by rigorous inquiry and the quiet pull of shared currents.
