EP238: Threads of Time: Heritage, Uniforms, and Responsible Design ft Ritwik Khanna

In this episode, we speak with Ritwik Khanna, founder of Rkiev City, about his approach to design, heritage, and restoration. Ritwik takes us through the remarkable journey of redesigning the uniform of Mayo College, one of India’s most prestigious institutions often referred to as the Eton of India. With a history spanning over 100 years, the project demanded deep respect for legacy while adapting to contemporary needs. Beyond uniforms, Ritwik shares his belief in restoring and reworking garments, emphasizing longevity, craftsmanship, and preserving stories through clothing. A conversation about tradition, responsibility, and designing with purpose.
