#M19 Shields
We spent majority of 2020 serving our frontline warriors with basic protection that they needed at the time by using our machines and space. The initiative started with a basic thought of making 1000 shields with 3 of our team members self isolating inside our space in Mumbai but slowly grew into the country’s largest open source movement with makers joining us from 42 cities, towns and villages and eventually making 1 Million face shields in 49 days! The M-19 shields are an ode to the power of a collective and truly represents self-sufficient local ecosystems – a new norm in a post #COVID19 world.
