Gaurav Mehta, the creator of Jaipur Watch Company, established the Gaurav Mehta Design Foundation. The organization was established with the goal of developing and showcasing design talent in India. It began with an analog wristwatch design competition.
According to a news announcement, Gaurav Mehta stated, “Having carved my path in watch design without formal training, I understand the importance of support and real-world experience.” “It’s time to give back and clear the path for students who just need to have their creative potential recognized and welcomed.”
The competition seeks to promote emerging watch design talent and foster industry innovation. Students of design are asked to combine contemporary aspects with traditional Indian craftsmanship to create a design that prioritizes comfort and wearability.
The Gaurav Mehta Design Foundation contest winner will get an internship at the Jaipur Watch Company in addition to a financial reward of Rs 25,000. The program seeks to provide gifted designers with a means of entrance into the field.
