Makersbox Foundation

You can find us at D-181 in Okhla Phase 1. This part of South Delhi is very industrial, with lots of workshops and big warehouses all around us. It suits us fine because we like making things and being around people who work with their hands and tools. The building isn't anything special to look at, just a solid place to get things done without too much fuss. We spend a lot of time tinkering and trying out new ideas for our projects. It’s not a quiet office environment at all; there’s usually some noise from the street or from someone building something in the back room. We started out small and we’re still not a huge operation today. We just like the process of creating and helping others learn how to build things too. Okhla is a tough place sometimes, very dusty and busy with trucks, but it has a lot of life and energy. We’ve got a couple of rooms filled with tools, parts, and computers. It’s a bit messy at times, to be honest. We don’t worry too much about having everything perfectly clean as long as the work is moving forward. Most of the staff live nearby, so we’re very much a local outfit. We aren't interested in sounding like a big tech company or anything corporate. We’re just people who like tools and learning. If you come by, you'll probably see us mid-project with coffee cups everywhere. It is a bit loud but we like the vibe of this area.
