Sunil Sethi conferred with honorary doctorate for design and fashion
Sunil Sethi, a shining metaphor for sharp business acumen and exemplary leadership, was conferred with Honorary Doctorate, Doctor of Literature (D.Litt.) Honoris Causa by Chitkara University. Sethi’s contribution to design, fashion, business, education and humanity was acknowledged with this.
“What makes me elated is the fact that my design and product development endeavours for 30+ years (in my company Sunil Sethi Design Alliance dedicated to textiles, handicrafts, carpets and lifestyle) and my 12 years of heading the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) have been appreciated,” shares Sethi.
Under his leadership, the FDCI has propelled Indian fashion into the international design galaxy. Unencumbered by the pandemic, Sethi successfully organised digital editions of India Couture Week and Lotus Makeup India Fashion Week in the last year. One’s keen to ask him what keeps him impossibly upbeat. “Despite the pandemic, I refused to give up. I have to admit that I am quite satisfied with where I have reached in life. I have tasted success and achieved what I wanted to. When one is bestowed with an honour like this, it’s a vindication that one’s efforts have been paid off. My sincere compliments to Dr Ashok K Chitkara, chancellor for organising the ceremony in such a professional way,” says Sethi
Sethi has over the years reconciled his artistic passions with his professional commitments — an unattainable alchemy, which many entrepreneurs only dream of.
