WADE ASIA celebrates Women-led development every day. It feels good to be celebrated, at the same time, I have observed, most of the media engages mostly into profiling of women to celebrate womanhood. While I am not against profiling, we wanted to do something different and thought-provoking by bringing out untold stories from the lives of various women across India.

Because of my interactions with women around the world through WADE ASIA, WADE Foundation, Women Entrepreneurs Committee of PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and other initiatives, I have realised that 'the nurturers' have so much to share. So many stories of their struggles, accomplishments, and challenges go untold. There's so much of learning hidden in these stories that can benefit others. This has led to the conceptualisation of the Cover Story of this edition of Surfaces Reporter: 'Being a Woman in Design & Architecture.' Some of the best stories will get a chance to be a part of WADE ASIA this year.

As we are gearing up for the 5th edition of WADE ASIA 2020, I can't wait to meet you all again. Block the dates and get prepared to Speak, Present, Network, Mentor, Learn and Celebrate Design, Art and Architecture:

What people are saying about “WADE Asia, Surfaces Reporter & Talk of Town" Surfaces Reporter Surfaces Reporter magazine generates interest. It attracts and compels one to turn the pages and check out the content.

-Madhavi Patri Subramanian HNG Float Glass Ltd., Mumbai

I find Surfaces Reporter’s content highly useful to explore latest, different & unique materials & products.

- Vishal Patoliya, Architect, Abhigam, Rajkot I have been reading through Surfaces Reporter and I like the fact that you are able to really provide latest information to the people in this community (influencers, manufacturers and end consumers). The magazine is able to provide a platform where you could see what is latest in the industry.

This helps in visualising the products in a much better way.

I would say, it does help the industry as a whole making sure that we are at par with rest of the world.

-Sumit Bidani, Formica India The Talk of Town It's very inspiring and you should keep doing such events and promote women in Architecture and of course they do have a very strong role but they are not seen so often. You are promoting them it's a very good concept.

WADE ASIA I’ve been into teaching for many years and I am a photographer. I’ve been a part of WADE ASIA for the last two years as a photography jury and it has been a wonderful experience. I’ve seen that a lot of students whom I encourage to come here benefit a lot from WADE ASIA. I find that the exhibitions, the displays and the talk are of great benefit for all the students.

- Prof. Yashwant Pitkar Academy of Architecture, Mumbai WADE ASIA has been a great platform for us. We’ve had a great experience here. I think I have not seen such an educative platform which has brought together the building material side and the community of interior designers and architects so well. I think it’s a great platform for company or brand to be associated with.

- Akhilesh Chitlangia, Duro Ply Industries Thank you Madhurima and Vertica for having us here. Thank you so much for having this huge Asia level platform for women empowerment. Kudos to both of you. I hope you keep having more and more beautiful journeys. Thank you so much!

- Bhadri Suthar, The gRID Architects, Delhi

- Amit Sadavarte, Creative Ventures, Pune I think it's a very good platform for specially bringing forth women architects and designers. They need a platform where they can share their ideas and showcase their projects. So I think it's very good effort on your part.

Thank you so much.
