Editorial
I feel incredibly proud to launch the inaugural issue of ImaginXP’s biannual Design Journal. The
prime objective of the design journal is to provide insights into the world of Design, Design
Thinking, User Experience Design and related topics. This journal is a platform to showcase some
inspiring work, experiences and portfolios. It focuses on the views, findings, and knowledge of our
students, academicians, and professionals in the design domain.
The prevailing circumstances are not only impacting global businesses but also the social scape.
The process of digital transformation has suddenly accelerated against the backdrop of challenges
of lockdown and social distancing. The enterprises are transforming to satisfy the needs of the
changing consumer behaviours by linking with them virtually and the needs of the employees
working from home by skilling, upskilling and stand reskilling. The need for hyper-personalisation
of learning experience assumes great importance in the era of business disruptions and
unfortunate laying off employees or placing them on the bench. History bears testimony that
reskilling has been one of the most exercised options during business disruptions/slowdowns
globally. What needs to be understood by individuals and organisations is that they cannot delay
their learning needs to evolve and meet the requirements of the changing times.
It gives me a sense of pride and satisfaction that team ImaginXP displayed remarkable agility in
adopting and migrating to the digital platform. The team strived to provide a continuous and
uninterrupted learning experience to our students in various programs in our partnering
universities/ urban learning centres. Our corporate partners trusted us with opportunities to create
new programs for their employees to meet their training needs in this new normal.
I want to place my appreciation for the editorial board to have conceived and created this inaugural
issue and contribute to sharing the learnings in these challenging times and am sanguine that this
issue will turn out to be readers' delight. I would encourage all readers to contribute with their
experiences and creativity in the upcoming issues. We at ImaginXP, are dedicated to the cause of
empowering our youth and workforce by creating an ecosystem for knowledge and innovations
armed with skills of the 21st century to propel our nation and society to the centre stage of global
order.
