problem solving
It relies on active community participation for problem solving and minimises reliance on the government or the private sector.
It can generate large datasets due to participation from the community (millions of data points), which would not be feasible in academic projects.
Being open R&D, there are no intellectual property barriers. Open-source licensing encourages collaboration.
Solutions can be replicated globally, since data and methodology are publicly available.
Projects carried out with scientific rigor without compromising quality over cost.
A peer-review process is adopted to evaluate and analyse every step of the project.
OPEN HEALTHCARE PROJECTS
The initiative came together with a centralised open source design philosophy with decentralised manufacturing so that we can gather the best minds to solve the pressing challenges of this country and execute with agility. The importance of locally making for local environments has never been more important and that convergence with the maker movement makes a very strong case of digital manufacturing! Solving problems requires a multidisciplinary approach and that’s what makes this special. Collective open innovation and social entrepreneurship is the core tenet of the initiative!
International Documentary
‘Makers of Change’ sees Makers coming to the rescue as the pandemic brings the world and global supply chains to their knees.

From batteries powered by microbes to 1 million face shields achieved within 50 days – a movement which began years ago, finally finds its stage as Makers turn superheroes, making for the need of the hour.
