ABOUT

Overview

ARCH was created to nurture thinkers, creators, innovators and changemakers—young people who can design for a better future with sensitivity, skill and purpose.” — Archana Surana, Founder & Director Twenty-five years ago, Archana Surana—a design educator, mentor, and social entrepreneur—laid the foundation of ARCH College of Design & Business with a clear purpose: to build an ecosystem for design education that empowers young people to transform ideas into meaningful impact and emerge as globally aware designers. A strong advocate for Creative Entrepreneurship, Ms. Surana envisioned a learning environment that would go far beyond skill training. Her vision was to cultivate design ability, leadership, innovation, and global readiness among young creators stepping into a rapidly changing world. In the early 2000s, design education was still emerging in the state, identifying a crucial gap—the need for structured, industry-aligned design programs supported by real-world exposure. ARCH introduced practice-based learning, maker labs, and robust industry and global connections.
