1. What is the name of India’s first fashion forecasting initiative?
VisioNxt is India’s first fashion forecasting initiative, developed by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) with support from the Ministry of Textiles. It uniquely combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) to generate trend insights that reflect India's rich cultural diversity. Launched in 2018, VisioNxt aims to enhance global competitiveness by providing tailored insights for fashion consumers and professionals. Operating through hubs in Chennai and Delhi, it also supports Indian weavers and designers, reducing dependence on foreign trend agencies and fostering a stronger connection to local culture and design.
