MUMBAI, INDIA — In a push towards creating a more inclusive advertising and design industry, Indian Creative Women (ICW) is back with Portfolio Evening 2025. Now in its fifth year, this flagship event hosted by D&AD, the DDB Mudra Group, and Godrej Consumer Products is set to empower young women and non-binary creatives with a platform that champions talent, innovation, and visibility.
To be held on 30th January virtually and 31st January in person (Omnicom House), Indian Creative Women’s Portfolio Evening will provide an exclusive opportunity for young women and non-binary creatives to meet some of the best names in the industry and get their portfolios reviewed by them. The event is open to women with 0 to 6 years of experience, including recently graduated women students from advertising portfolio schools. Deadline for entry is 24 January 2025.
Since its inception, Portfolio Evening has provided over 500 women and non-binary creatives with invaluable feedback, accelerating careers and reshaping industry norms. This year, thanks to Godrej Consumer Products, two standout portfolios will win an all-expense-paid trip to the D&AD Festival in London.
“This year’s partnership with Indian Creative Women for the Portfolio Evening underscores our shared commitment to both creative excellence and industry-wide equity. At D&AD, we believe that the best ideas come from diverse perspectives, and by empowering underrepresented voices, we pave the way for innovation and growth. Together, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where creativity can truly thrive for all,” shared Dara Lynch, CEO, D&AD.
