// Congratulations Blissclub! 🎉 We're beaming with pride as our partners BlissClub clinch the "Breakout Brand of the Year 2024" at the CNBC-TV18 India Business Leadership Awards. It's a moment that validates how thoughtful design and bold vision can transform a homegrown brand into an industry leader. Our journey with BlissClub started 2 years ago, when together, we reimagined what a modern Indian activewear brand could look like - from defining their brand ethos and narrative to creating a visual language that resonates with millions of women across India. Seeing them being recognised for their work, and sharing the stage with industry titans shows how far the right blend of design thinking and business acumen can take a brand. This award is a testament to BlissClub's unwavering commitment to building something truly valuable, and we're honored to have played a role in shaping their journey. Here's to more milestones in designing futures that matter!

// Designing for Deep Tech. The most brilliant innovations often stumble not because of technology, but because of the gap between complexity and user understanding. At Studio Carbon, we've witnessed firsthand how deep tech, when paired with thoughtful design, can create revolutionary products. Design is like the dynamo that converts complex technology into everyday magic, algorithms into intuitive interfaces and daunting devices into delightful experiences. Building something groundbreaking? Let's talk about making your deep tech not just powerful, but irresistible to users. #deeptech #designthinking #innovation #futuretech #startup #studiocarbon #designmatters #studiocarbon #buildthefuture #feelthefuture

Unpopular Opinion: Remote working cannot be a norm, because it has a ceiling on growth—especially for entrepreneurs. When we started Studio Carbon remotely, “working from anywhere” wasn’t the norm. I moved to the Netherlands to take our Indian design company global while our headquarter grew in India. That meant spending 2300 out of 2500 days over 7 years away from the team. This was the cost of building a global company from day one. And it worked. Today, Studio Carbon is a thriving venture with clients across 4 continents, designing the future together. But the journey was anything but smooth: - 4:00 a.m. calls to bridge time zones. - Missing precious moments with the team. - Losing the magic of spontaneous creativity—the ideas sparked over lunch or a shared breath of the same air. Entrepreneurship is already a lonely path, but creating remotely makes it even lonelier. Creativity thrives in proximity, in the visceral energy of being in the same room where magic happens. Remote work? It limits that magic. If remote is your only option, here’s what helped us: - Build with people who truly get you. - Start meetings with personal check-ins or playful rituals. - Master self-reflection—become a seeker of inspiration within. Would I build remotely again? In a heartbeat. But this time, I’d carry the wisdom of what it costs. #RemoteWorkLife #CreativeLeadership #UnpopularOpinion #GlobalEntrepreneur #FutureOfWork

// A Day of Appreciation. At Studio Carbon, we believe in celebrating each other’s uniqueness and creating moments that strengthen our bonds. This International Men’s Day, our wonderful women Carbons orchestrated a heartwarming surprise that turned into a beautiful celebration of gratitude and appreciation. The day unfolded with a delightful game of matching personalized badges to personalities, filling the studio with laughter and playful guesses. Each badge was thoughtfully crafted to reflect the distinct characteristics that make our male teammates special. Later, we taped papers to our backs, and turned them into canvases of admiration, with everyone writing things they appreciate about their fellow carbon. These notes now adorn our studio wall! But the highlight was definitely the personalised letters of appreciation from important women in their lives, which made many of our male carbons warm with emotions. The day wasn’t just about celebrating the men of the studio, but also about acknowledging the beautiful mosaic of personalities that make Studio Carbon what it is. A special shoutout to our incredible female Carbons Shageera Mazid, Siddhi Kansara, Shairly Jain and Mallika Lahiry and our HR team for crafting this memorable experience. Your thoughtfulness and creativity made this day truly special. #internationalmensday #carboncelebrations #designstudio #carbonculture #designcommunity #studiocarbon #teamappreciation #designfamily #studiolife #creativeteam #designerlife #carbonmoments #gratitude #appreciation #teamlove

// Halloween Mayhem at Carbon HQ! 🎃 When Carbons decide to spook it up, we don’t hold back! Last week, our team transformed the studio into a haunted cavern, with everyone bringing their A-game to the planning table. Our resident organisers outdid themselves with Halloween-themed snacks that were equal parts spooky and delicious. The decorations? Let’s just say some of our Carbons might have missed their calling as horror movie set designers! The evening peaked with an impromptu photoshoot capturing our creepiest personas, but the real chills came during our ghost story session. Huddled around with hot chocolate in hand, we discovered that some of our quietest team members have the scariest stories to tell! Here’s a peek into our spooktacular celebrations. Peek into a place where every occasion becomes an excuse to unleash our collective creativity.
