The Foundation for Organisational Research and Education (FORE), a centre of excellence in management education, development, research, and consultancy, has established a new vertical, the FORE School of Jewellery Design (FSJD). The institution has been set up with a forward-looking vision: to offer a comprehensive, industry-relevant approach to jewellery education by blending creativity with technical expertise.
“With FSJD, FORE is expanding its mission of holistic education to the creative industries,” said Dr. B. B. L. Madhukar, Chairman, FORE.
Established as a society in 1981, FORE has been working closely with industry and academia to create a dynamic learning ecosystem focused on innovation, sustainability, and leadership. With multiple verticals and specialised schools now under its umbrella, it serves as the parent institution to one of India’s leading B-Schools, the FORE School of Management (FSM), further strengthening its commitment to holistic education and leadership development.
In collaboration with the renowned Design Academy of India (DAI), FSJD is introducing a 6-month intensive programme in Jewellery Design and Digital Manufacturing (JDDM).
