India's first contemporary design fair opens today. In this interview, Design Mumbai co-founder Piyush Suri explains how booming real estate and a fast-growing middle class have ignited the nation's design industry.

Design Mumbai's inaugural edition takes place in Jio World Garden from 6 to 9 November, becoming India's first trade fair to focus exclusively on contemporary design.
