Bhasya Series Designing classical texts is not merely an editorial exercise—it is an act of interpretation, continuity, and restraint . The Prasthana Traya Bhasya series , designed by Tacit for the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri , reflects this approach through a carefully constructed visual and structural system that honours both the philosophical depth and the textual tradition of the works. The series comprises four volumes— Brahmasutra Bhasya, Bhagavad Gita

Reflections on Experiments with TouchDesigner In recent weeks, we did some experiments using TouchDesigner , a real-time visual programming environment that enables interaction between human gestures, sound, and dynamic visual systems. Our interest in these experiments was not merely technological. Rather, we hoped to test a set of questions that have long been central to the discourse of modern design. The questions are simple but not trivial: Do these technological effects

Nitya Prarthana, Books for Chanting Designing Nitya Prārthanā and Nitya Dhyāna is an exercise in restraint—because these books aren’t meant to be “read” the way most books are. They’re meant to be used : held in the hand, returned to daily, and relied upon as a steady textual aid for learning and practicing Vedic chanting. Tacit’s design response starts from that lived reality of practice, shaping the books as quiet companions for students and teachers within the sacred Hin

Natyasastra - Book Volumes Some books don’t just carry content—they carry a civilization’s memory. Bharata Muni’s Nāṭyaśāstra is one of those works: a foundational text for Indian aesthetics and performance traditions, and a living reference point for how we think about art, expression, and human emotion. When Indica chose Nāṭyaśāstra as the inaugural offering of the INDICA Classical Library , the ambition was clear: create an edition that honors the gravitas of the text wh

Bangalore is widely celebrated as India’s technology capital — a city shaped by software, startups, and UI/UX-driven product thinking. Yet, beneath this digital-first identity lies a quieter hunger: a longing to reconnect with the tactile, the printed, and the deeply philosophical roots of design. This spirit came alive at a exhibition curated by Prof. Kirti Trivedi at the Bangalore International Centre (BIC) . Organised with the support of Tacit , along with a group of dedi

Beeja, sprouting A seed rests in the soil without instruction.It carries no image of the tree it will become.What it holds is a direction. Given light, water, and time, the seed does not decide its form. It responds. Roots move downward. The stem moves upward. Leaves appear when the conditions allow them. What we later recognise as beauty is not intention, but consequence. Nature does not rush toward expression. It first establishes order. Creation, in this sense, is not an

We believe design as an act of connecting ourselves with reality in the process we may illuminate and liberate. It is as much an internal process to refine your own self. As designers and by designing, we hope to become better listeners, sensitive creators and responsible members of ecosystems. Everyday we engage with our collaborators who struggle in finding sense of current realities, meanings and connections with ever-changing cultural world. We walk together in discoverin
