02The brief

A government-funded research hub needed a public face that read as both academically credible and institutionally serious — and could be maintained by a small in-house team.

03Approach

Three moves that defined the engagement.

  1. 01

    Engineered a content-led, accessible site with a clear research-and-programs information architecture.

  2. 02

    Coordinated stakeholders across IIT Ropar, DST and the Zazzy design team.

  3. 03

    Deployed on a Netlify-based JAMstack pipeline with zero-touch publishing for the AWaDH team.
