Kyoorius founder CEO Rajesh Kejriwal said, “With the third edition of the Kyoorius Design Awards, we’re thrilled with the response as well as the range and quality of work submitted. The dynamic mix of international and Indian jury members balance global standards with local context and I’m sure they will have some tough decisions to make next week.”
