Design is booming — from UI/UX to gaming. Can creative fields finally be considered mainstream in India?

Yes, creative fields like UI/UX, animation, gaming, and graphic design are rapidly gaining mainstream recognition in India. With the rise of startups, digital platforms, mobile apps, and gaming culture, the demand for skilled designers is higher than ever. However, many still view creative careers as “less stable” compared to traditional paths. That mindset is changing as designers now play a key role in tech, marketing, and product development. With the right skills and a strong portfolio, creative fields can be just as rewarding, both financially and professionally. It’s time India fully embraces creativity as a serious career choice.
