Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology

What Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology does

Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology (legally Vogue Institute of Art & Design, also operating as VIAD) is a private educational institution founded in 1996 and headquartered at Richmond Circle, Bangalore, India, with additional campuses at Doddaballapura (KIADB Apparel Park Phase II) and Koppa. The institute is affiliated to Bangalore North University and operates four core academic departments: Fashion Design, Interior Design, Jewellery Design, and Animation & Multimedia. Its product portfolio spans postgraduate degrees (M.Des in Fashion Design & Management and Interior Design & Management), undergraduate degrees (B.Sc, BVA, and B.Des programs across the four disciplines), and short-cycle graduate diplomas and certificates in areas including VFX, 3D Animation, Graphic & Web Design, and Multimedia. The affiliated Dr. Kariappa Business School on the Doddaballapura campus additionally offers BBA (Aviation Management) and MBA (General Management), expanding the institution's footprint into business education.

The institute generates revenue primarily through per-semester tuition and administrative fees, collected online through dedicated State Bank of India collect portals for degree/postgraduate versus diploma/certificate programs, with installment options available and scholarship support for academically strong, volunteer-engaged, or financially constrained students. Its go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer model: prospective students apply online, take a Design Aptitude Test, and are guided through admissions by counselors, with conversion supported by campus visits, fashion shows, workshops, webinars, alumni testimonials, and active social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube). Curriculum is delivered using industry-standard tools including JewelCAD, Matrix, Rhino, and 3D printing, and the institute maintains international academic collaborations with Academia Costume e Moda (Italy) and De Montfort University (UK), alongside industry partners such as the Weaver's Service Centre (Bangalore) for textile training.

The institute reports 10,000+ alumni over its operating history and claims a #9 national ranking among fashion designing colleges in India. No external investors, parent company, funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, trademarks, or regulatory actions are disclosed in available sources; the entity appears to be founder-led and privately operated within India.
