432. Left Off the Blueprint
from BIC TALKS
Good design is invisible. Bad design is something women navigate every day. In public spaces, designers have rarely looked closely enough at how women actually move through streets, neighbourhoods, and informal gathering spaces. In digital infrastructure, women's needs and safety are an afterthought, if considered at all. In healthcare, the gap is starker still. A space meant for healing leaves too many women negotiating their right to be there, be it fair inclusion in clinical trials or access to safe examinations. This panel examines what it would take to change these systems to include those left off the original blueprints. This event is part of our programming to celebrate International Women's Day. Music, theatre, and conversation: by women, for everyone. In this episode of BIC Talks, Rajani Surendar Bhat, Kiran Keswani and Sarayu Natarajan will be in conversation with Nia Thandapani. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Mar 2026. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app!
