You know a workshop has been successful when students learn exactly what they needed to, despite the limited time. The students at MRID - Institute of Design, MS University of Baroda, India, were adept, creative, and came up with innovative ideas around circular business models, such as:
โข Redesigning ๐๐บ๐๐น ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด around circularity, also while considering the hot weather conditions in India.

Whatโs even more impressive is how they embraced the importance of circularityโa concept many had not encountered before. Their feedback and โahaโ moments captured the workshopโs intent perfectly:

Had another fantastic ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ก ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ฌ session on my India 2025 tour, this time with the Department of Design students at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)- Roorkee.
Innovation isn't just about creating new productsโit can also be about developing innovative business models. One of the student groups came up with a circular business model for mobile phone covers using gamification to enhance user engagement.
Here are the ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ they developed at the workshop:
โข ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ต๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ โ Designed with a gamified business model and a โproduct-as-a-serviceโ model. Users can return old covers for recycling through a deposit system, with retailers helping to collect them.
โข ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ Focused on reducing packaging waste by using semi-biodegradable, nature-based materials.
โข ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป๐ โ Aimed at extending the lifecycle of pens and promoting reuse instead of discarding them in landfills.
It was inspiring to see not just their creativity but also their passion and enthusiasm for finding the best solutions.
