The Retreat was meticulously planned, had a balanced structured, thought-provoking design discussions with open-ended conversations. The location helped disconnect from daily work and engage meaningfully with like-minded individuals. Unlike typical conferences, this experience enabled deeper connections and valuable exchanges. Mohit and team excel at curating these retreats. I highly recommend attending if you get the opportunity.

The retreat by the Extended Pack Collective wasn’t just inspiring—it shifted my perspective, reinforcing the power of diverse experiences in shaping meaningful, purpose-driven design. While the impressive work by designers from various organisations stood out, the real impact came from conversations on design ethics, the future of design, and building a design-first culture in India.
