Maker’s Asylum: India’s Creative Playground for Makers
From Mumbai’s bustling urban landscape to Goa’s laid-back artistic vibe, Maker’s Asylum has transformed into a flagship for India’s maker movement. Originally founded to solve a personal need for prototyping space, the Asylum has grown into a community-driven hub where creativity meets cutting-edge technology.
A Space for Every Maker
Housed in a 100-year-old Goan home, the Asylum is equipped with:
- 3D printing labs for rapid prototyping.
- Laser cutting and digital fabrication zones for open-source manufacturing.
- Woodworking and metal workshops for hands-on creation.
- Coworking areas for members to work and collaborate.
Community Impact & Global Projects
Maker’s Asylum isn’t just a workshop — it’s a platform for social innovation:
- COVID-19 Response: Produced over 1 million open-source face shields in just 49 days with contributors from 42 cities and villages.
- Accessibility Projects: Designed and taught differently-abled individuals to build their own 3D-printed prosthetics.
- Education Initiatives: Created interactive board games to teach financial literacy in underserved communities.
- Mobile Labs: Converted tuk-tuks into traveling fabrication labs for rural education.
Why Goa?
The move from Mumbai to Goa was both practical and creative — lower costs, a vibrant community of artists and designers, and a space that fosters imagination.
