More than just structures. More than just design.
At the heart of THE WADE ASIA, something extraordinary has been quietly flourishing over the years—the bonds of sisterhood.
Across corridors of creativity and amidst sessions on design excellence, THE WADE ASIA has become India’s largest ground for female friendships in architecture and design. A space where women don’t just gather to learn or compete—they connect, confide, and celebrate each other.
These friendships go beyond the event.
From studio collaborations to lifelong sisterhoods, from mentor-mentee bonds to travel buddies—what began at THE WADE ASIA continues across cities, WhatsApp groups, project sites, and living rooms.
We’ve seen hugs turn into healing, shared dreams become joint ventures, and introductions become alliances that change lives.
Our intention was always clear:
To create a platform where women are seen, heard, and celebrated.
What bloomed, beyond the awards and applause, was a thriving community built on trust, purpose, and friendship.
And we’re grateful that this journey has never been walked alone.
Men and peers from across the design fraternity have stood alongside—championing women’s work, celebrating their success, and strengthening the spirit of community. This solidarity has deepened respect and created friendships that transcend gender.
As we step into our 10th year, we carry with us not just milestones, but millions of moments—of support, kindness, strength, and the pure joy of being seen by another person who just gets it.
To every woman who found a friend at THE WADE ASIA—you are the soul of this platform.
To every man who walked with us
— you are the strength of this ecosystem.
And to those yet to come
— we can’t wait to meet you.
- In a world often defined by competition, THE WADE ASIA stands for connection.
- In an industry that can sometimes feel solitary, THE WADE ASIA has built belonging.
And in a profession of deadlines and designs, we’ve made room for laughter and love while spreading your wings to grow in the Business of Design!
- “Men who celebrate women’s success make the community stronger—and they’ve been part of THE WADE ASIA from the very beginning.”
I welcome all of you to join us on the 10th year of THE WADE ASIA Architecture Event celebration happening at Yashobhoomi New Delhi from 21st to 24th of August 2025.
- Verticaa Dvivedi, Founder, THE WADE ASIA
