Dr. Cavita Taragi, Pro Vice Chancellor of Industry Partnerships at Chitkara University, has been instrumental in driving the growth of the university’s Fashion program. With a deep passion for fashion and strategic insight into design, she has transformed the curriculum to reflect global trends and cutting-edge practices.

One of her major achievements is spearheading Chitkara Design School’s partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the country’s most respected fashion organization. This collaboration gives students industry exposure through fashion weeks, couture exhibitions, and access to FDCI’s vast network of designers and professionals, offering real-world projects and skill development.

Dr. Cavita has also championed partnerships with global organizations like Accenture and the World Design Organization (WDO), enhancing student opportunities for internships and workshops. Her forward-thinking initiatives include Sustainable Fashion Labs and Fashion Tech Integration, using 3D printing and augmented reality to enrich learning. To strengthen industry ties, Chitkara University awarded an Honorary Doctorate to Mr. Sunil Sethi, Chairman of FDCI, whose contributions have helped bring Indian fashion to the global stage.

Through her leadership, Dr. Cavita has positioned Chitkara University as a leader in fashion education, preparing students to excel in a fast-evolving industry.
