Design Worldwide partners with Wave D&C
MUMBAI: Design Worldwide, the multi-disciplined strategic branding, design and creative solutions company, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Milan-based Wave Design & Communication (Wave D&C), which specialises in branding, packaging and communication.
The partnership is a culmination of an extensive search by both companies, for a compatible partner in each other’s markets, it said in a statement.
Design Worldwide co-founder Dhrubo J Borkotoky said, “Since our inception we have pioneered the concept of design outsourcing and successfully collaborated with design teams and clients across Asia-Pacific, Canada and UK to deliver projects beyond geographical boundaries. While earlier partnerships were project based, we felt an increasing need to move to the next stage and forge a stable strategic alliance that could lead to a stronger representation of skills and expertise across a wider footprint. Apart from giving us an opportunity to contribute towards projects in the European market, this partnership offers our clients in India access to a world-class design team.”
Design Worldwide co-founder Sanjay Sarma added, “This partnership is about shared knowledge, experience and expertise and validates our business model, which at one level is about delivering global design projects out of India; and at another level is about bringing a globally relevant strategic design team to the Indian sub- continent. The DWW-Wave D&C partnership is a step forward in providing the best of global design resources to our respective clients in India and Europe, and look at a larger footprint and depth of services.”
Design Worldwide’s services include integrated branding, creative and design solutions across three core verticals: communication design, spatial design and product design. The firm has clients across sectors like hotels, food and beverages, retail, cosmetics and personal care, real estate and construction, consumer products, eye care, automotive components, fashion and lifestyle, tourism and diplomatic missions.
Wave D&C’s services include packaging and branding design, corporate identity, advertising, sales force material, consumer promotions and in-store communication. Food and beverages, consumer products, retail and pharma are some of the industries that Wave D&C specialises in.

Give Me Five mental fitness platform launches in India
Global tool for early stress detection debuts in Hyderabad with live demos.
MUMBAI: Give Me Five just gave mental fitness a high-five because when your mind needs a quick check-up, even the app shows up faster than your inner critic. Give Me Five, a global mental fitness platform focused on early detection and proactive wellbeing, was officially launched in India at a special event at The Park Hotel, Somajiguda, Hyderabad. Founded by Brendan Fahey (30 years years building community solutions in human services), Dr Lisa Fahey OAM (35+ years as a trauma-recovery psychologist) and Phil Dymock (technology lead for expansion across the US, Canada, Australia and now India), the platform encourages small, consistent check-ins to spot early signs of stress, anxiety or burnout before they escalate.
The launch featured a live demonstration of core features, quick mental fitness assessments, data-driven personal insights, wellbeing dashboards, and tools tailored for individuals, workplaces, schools and communities. By making early awareness simple and accessible, Give Me Five aims to foster supportive environments where people feel equipped to act sooner rather than later.
Give Me Five co-founder Brendan Fahey said, “Give Me Five was created with a simple idea that small, consistent check-ins can make a meaningful difference in how we understand and support mental fitness. By making early detection accessible through technology, we hope to empower individuals, organisations, and communities to recognise challenges sooner and build stronger systems of care and support.”
The platform arrives as mental health conversations in India gain urgency, with rising awareness of workplace stress, student burnout and everyday emotional load. Give Me Five positions itself as a preventive companion less about crisis response and more about daily maintenance for the mind.
In a world that tracks every step and heartbeat, Give Me Five quietly reminds us the most important metric is still how we feel—and sometimes all it takes is five minutes and a honest pause to keep the balance from tipping.
