The Riidl ecosystem is built on the belief that design education is strongest when it is closely connected to innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-world
experimentation. Riidl - Research, Innovation, Incubation, and Design Labs - forms a key pillar supporting the Somaiya School of Design.
Over the years, Riidl has built a strong global ecosystem of makers, innovators, designers, entrepreneurs, startups, corporates, investors, and academic partners. Through this ecosystem, SSD students engage in hands-on making, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world problem-solving, often working alongside
startups and innovators rather than in simulated environments.
