While our elected representatives have been striving to pass the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament, to allocate 33 percent of seats to women candidates, visionaries like Vertica Dvivedi have achieved 100 percent women’s representation by conceiving an event like WADE ASIA. The fact that this event unites women engaged in the fields of architecture and design from India and Asia under one roof is a testament to its significance. Equally commendable is WADE ASIA’s outreach to the artist community.

WADE ASIA is a very-well organized event. There are many pavilions showcasing the latest products and the technical sessions are very good. I am a part of the WADE ASIA Jury. The quality of presentations was very good. There are so many youngsters coming up and creating beautiful designs. They will be the part of a promising future and impart a major change. WADE ASIA must continue its endeavour as there are not many players who are dedicated for it.

Overall, I loved the idea of bringing woman talent in the forefront and our Indian society badly needs it. I told my wife about WADE ASIA and just by knowing about this initiative she felt confident to take her work ahead as a practicing architect. She appreciated founders & entire team for the efforts. I was aware of Surfaces Reporter but the way WADE ASIA started and evolved is notable.

WADE ASIA 2022 at Delhi was an enviable national success. The scale of exhibition was huge & remarkable – a perfect one. The warmth was amiable and planning was meticulously done giving all who attended a sort of Euphoria.
– Ar Bankim Dave, Surat
The “Feel Good” factor, that was prevalent all throughout the wonderfully executed event of WADE ASIA 2022, continues to make me feel good even now! I thoroughly enjoyed being a small part of this mega event, meeting my old friends, making new ones along the way, getting awed by the scale of the exhibition and impressed by the architectural quality and innovation of the entrants..!! The fact that there were more than 1,200 entries speaks a lot about the popularity of the WADE ASIA competition. The jury was held in a very transparent and well organized manner, and as a juror, I felt satisfied at the outcome.

Bringing wood & surface industry together on one platform was very challenging, but organizers have done wonderful task & as an architect it became easy for a comparative in various segments of wood- ply, laminate, veneer, frames, flooring etc. and easy selection of brands to work with in future for different profile of clients. It also brought the awareness that our Indian vendors especially in furniture design & production are producing quality products & are striving for excellence which are at par with international competition since I have experienced Milan Fair & China in the past. MATECIA Innovation zone was a creative idea to put forth designers who want to try out new avenues for growth and it attracted aspiring students and Indian vendors looking for innovative designers with whom they could handhold together as a team for future collaborations.
