1 Aaquib Wani's concert scenography.

Wani's bright eye-popping palette, fat squiggly letters and peppy Instagrammable props have made Lollapalooza India seem like fun even to those who haven't attended the festival. His studio also crafted the look and feel of Sunburn 2025's Underwater Ocean Symphony stage and the overrun garden city theme of Bengaluru's Bandland last year. But nothing comes close to designing the Team India cricket jerseys for the 2024 T20 World Cup.

2 Studio Khol's Spotify thumbnails.

Remember that bold, blocky, glossy text on the thumbnail of Spotify's I-pop icons playlist? It's the work of designer Mira Felicia Malhotra's Mumbai-based studio. Malhotra's work always has a bold, feminist edge. She goes for vibrant neons, characters with strong features, bodies that take up space. The firm has also done Snapchat and Instagram stickers for Diwali, mythology-themed book covers, and a T-shirt collab with Nike.
