OTLO, a native Gujarati term for porch or a space between the home and the street, becomes a metaphorical exploration of all things design in Ashiesh Shah's namesake online fundraiser initiative between The India Design Fund (TIDF) and StoryLTD by Saffronart. Architect-designer Shah's resolve with TIDF is quite simply to look at Indian design, and what its community of architects, artists, fashion, product and interior designers could do to empower with unity during the COVID-19 health crisis.

"We've aligned with multiple NGOs working on undertaking humanitarian aid and disaster relief for migrant and construction workers and craft communities," says Shah, the co-founder of TIDF.
