The India Sensed program has enriched RISD's curriculum and fostered global engagement, sparking new conversations across design education institutions. This initiative highlights the importance of cross-cultural collaboration and integrating traditional crafts with contemporary design, enhancing RISD's commitment to providing unique, immersive learning experiences.

Students from RISD and Brown University have experienced transformative growth, gaining hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for traditional crafts. Many students have returned to India to further hone their skills and build new collaborations with artisans, fostering ongoing innovation and cross-cultural exchange in their academic and professional journeys.

Local artisans have benefited from the exchange of ideas and techniques, developing teaching modules for a global audience and adapting their crafts for contemporary application. Their involvement has preserved cultural heritage and provided new opportunities for collaboration and growth, enhancing their teaching skills and expanding their reach.

The DirectCreate team and supporting designers have bridged traditional crafts with modern design practices, leading to innovative projects and sustainable practices. The program's success has reinforced DirectCreate's mission to reconnect Indian artisans with the global market through digital technology, fostering meaningful exchanges and contributing to the global design community.
