Bengaluru makerspaces make India a hardware nation that doesn't rely on China
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- What’s a makerspace? How much do they cost? And how do they help young hardware startups build prototypes of their ideas at a lower cost without overly relying on vendors in China, Vietnam, Japan? Regina Mihindukulasuriya visits 3 makerspaces in Bengaluru to answer these questions and find out why entrepreneurs prefer the city's makerspaces over those in other places.

Love from the USA. Long live India.
Back in 2014, when I was working in a Bangalore tech startup, we used to visit a makerspace called Maker's Asylum over the weekends to build IOT/Drone prototypes, participate in workshops and make weird design ideas come to life. I since moved overseas, but glad to see the Maker/DIY culture growing at the grassroots.
From which college have you done your engineering from?

Proud to see this happening in India.
Wonderful piece of information compiled. Thank you young editor. For any research in new product development, understanding of supply chain of components is essential. Please let us know how these young teams have solved this.
Finally great reporting! Thank you!
This is amazing! I have always wanted to see such places come up. My dad used to run a shop called Vi-Fix-It in Nagdevi Street, Mumbai. From there I learnt how to fix things and figure out how they were designed in the process. This is such a great video. Places like this will take India away from the Jugaad image and help promote thorough scientific approach while having fun and really doing practical stuff. I’ve met someone in Mumbai called Vaibhav Chhabra who setup Makers Asylum. Was hoping to work with them to create more such spaces, maybe 1 in my fathers shop, which has now moved to Santacruz West, and due to his illness is lying empty. But this video really made my day! So happy to see it! Well done Print team!
An excellent initiative, more and more cities in India should have such places, and more promotion should be done about this and awareness needs to be spread all over the country so that more and more parents feel excited to allow their children to such places and the youth also chooses this. If this is utilized properly it will really benifit India so much in the coming decades.
It's not Bangalore anymore, it's Bengaluru.🇮🇳
i am proud of u bro ,for correctly it .
Even earlier, kannads used it call it Benglur.
Benda kaluru (boiled seeds town) is the real name.
In 12 century hoysala king veer ballala on the way for hunting in forest. He found a vilage and some granny served boiled seeds to him. So he called that village benda kaluru and now its one of the biggest cities in the world.
This is what the real news is, wonderful coverage by print.
I too felt the realness bro.
Hi Darshan
happy to know that you liked this video. Do keep writing in
@@ThePrintIndia Media/entertainment/sports have the power of attention. Business/trade/innovation/tech also have power of attention but indian media doesn't learn how to harness it & that's why we as a society didn't grew that well, if indian media learn how to harness & embrace it, india will be a different country, prosperous & rich. Keep doing good work @ThePrint
@@ThePrintIndia yes, indian media is quite one-eyed. even big projects do not get media attention. There are many big completed projects that most indians are not aware of
Wonderful, keep doing the great work guys!!!
Hi pratik,
thank you
Very nice thought helpful for innovators but should be affordable.
This is just fantastic!! Seems like a great city to raise your children.
Boss, you can create a makerspace in your city. Why run to Benglur?
Building a prototype that successfully performs some desired function related to your own life experience or need is a valuable lesson learned. But it is only one piece of a much larger puzzle. For example, the ordinary incandescent light bulb had very little patent protection kept up related to the initial invention, so in theory anyone could make their own. Some of the first automatic machines designed to produce a finished product were high speed light bulb assemblers and they were surrounded by dense legal patent protection to forestall imitators building clones of these lowest cost producers.
Great Karnataka state Bangalore old items search work
A fine effort and thanks for this video. I hope to share it .
gr8 journalism more of this
Makes me wanna move back to India , Where were all these places when we were growing up!!!!
Godspeed
Great Karnataka state Bangalore new search work make in India 🇮🇳 development products
Very talented and nice growth,
Thanks to our PM to enlighten, encourage, give and build support to bring out the hidden talent of youth, kids, and all age groups👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 still a long way to go, but initiation is as much necessary as consistency and the goal😊👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Not related to PM in anyway sir.
@@rutvikrs did you see the icon,. Lion, behind,.,. Thats *MAKE IN INDIA*, started by Modiji., after that only many startups have come and we have more than 100 unicorns😊.
@@bharatk869 i vote Modi too. But makerspaces have been around for more than 15-20 years in Bengaluru.
This organisation has put the poster up, but they are not funded or stated by the govt.
India is far away from China and will never be able to catcheup with China. India equal in population and area with China but China gdp is around 18 trillion and Indian gdp is 2.8 trillion.

It would be good if their contact details are posted in description, easy for someone to connect with them.
Great 🙏😊
Great I need to go there
Awesome 👍
oh what are they making?. Good news. Please provide a list of processors or Memmory chips and software they make.
Bravo...
India has brilliant minds 🙏
Spread this model across the country. Specially near the engineering colleges.
Land acquisition laws and energy are bottle necks for make in India. Not this fancy stuff.
exactly we should just focus on that and stop anything else, what a wonderful idea
@@thechlorinator1803 that’s an excellent idea
Please dont hype these initiatives.... its a budding step on right direction.. let them flourish.. all the best
Misleading title. Very poor editing by @ThePrint team. Though these makerspaces are a step in the right direction, we've a very long way to go to setup a manufacturing base rivaling that of China. Request to @ThePrint team to not hype up and sensationalize news content if you guys want to stay true to journalistic standards. The machines and instruments which these makerspaces use, most likely came from China which @ThePrint's reporters could've found out with a little bit of background work.
The scary part is how ignorant most of the commentators are, they are hailing this kind of thing as if India has arrived to some great destination. This is scary, the population of our country is so ignorant of the realities that any tom, dick and harry can invoke great euphoric feeling in them by just putting a spin about an non-event. If this is the kind of Atmanirbhar we are, then what happens if we are to really face an enemy and then find out the tools we made in makerspaces do not work or just fall apart. Unless a good and pragmatic head is on our shoulders, this can be a very dangerous endeavor. Stop such stupid reporting.
Maybe there should be mini makerspaces in Government run Engineering Colleges and polytechnics. It would enable enginnering students to test out what they were taught theoretically.
what the us kids did in 70s and 80s we are doing now,,,niceeeee
Can you share links for the location and website access
Prototyping is not what is breaking manufacturing in India. It is the scaling up to mass production. This is where you can't beat China.
Can someone suggest such places in Hyderabad please
Best of luck. But hope we can also catch elizabeth holmes like con artists if there happen to be such individuals among the honest entrepreneurs.
Govt polcies also matter a lot. Without which ST can't grow. Atamanirbhar Bharat is really important.
I can see Chinese knees buckling!!
Talk about overstating the case.
One such space is going to take on the Chinese juggernaut??
Talk about inflated jingoism at its peak!!
Clibait title doesn't do justice to the content
wait where did you got chips for all of these. taiwan. still relies on some other country
👍👍👍👍
lot of bussiness opportunities here.
Man people live in cities are really lucky ones because they have access to everything and सोने पे सुहागा if your parents afford these services.if government really provide these kind of workshops in villages it really changes kids mindset. school dropout decrease drastically attendance increase in classes.
Don't ask governments to implement these in villages. Governments are corrupt. They will implement it in one village, take lots of photographs there, and pocket the money meant for the other one million villages.
Found out that these Makerspaces are run by different organisations. They all use generic term "Makerspace" . So which one is good company ? It needs a reviews site
Just try out or a day.or two in each and find out on your own rather than depending on online reviews which could be paid reviews.
Company name
What a great programme! No news portal or channe will ever show such a programme.
Funny that, presently Kerala has the biggest fablab in the country and nobody knows it
Without facilities for mass production and semiconductor fabs ?
I'll pass
@ThePrint Do you know the difference between a makerspace and a whole manufacturing ecosystem? Having a single makerspace doesn't make the requirement for a manufacturing base redundant. Such makerspaces are available in many countries (even universities in India). However, these countries have not gone away from reliance on China. It is pretty silly to have China in your title.
A makerspace is for building prototypes. One needs economies of scale, 24/7 availability of water, electricity, and skilled labor to manufacture products that are production-ready. Let us not trivialize the multiple steps necessary to set up a full-fledged manufacturing and associated supply chain and infrastructure. We have a long way to go.
Exactly my thinking, juvenile and unprofessional reporting. Shame on ThePrint for using such titles and novice journalists who do not know what they are talking about.
True. What can be done to solve problems?
Only if kar govt supported Bangalore IT, absolute shame
Thank U The Print for covering such areas, great initiative.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Good initiative. Will help in developing skills among youth to solve real-life engineering problems.

The whole world mindset : need billions to do something
India : i can do that in half of hAlf of HaLf of that
hardware tutoring and experimentation for all ages using manual labor? still too small but a good start. Let's see in 20 years how it is
Making China redundant... it's so redundant that China exported $3.4T of products in 2021 despite having lost its wage competitiveness a long time ago.
Beautiful presenter
This is what a good colledge is suppose to provide
Finally the Indian elephant has woken up.
And will remain an elephant. Perhaps a white one!!
Hi while it's wonderful to see manufacturing in India, but let's not hyperbole it, cause these are design benches, we still have to depend on manufacturing to china, that can only be solved if we actually invest in manufacturing plants.
Great initiative.
Great content. 👍 Thank you #theprint #missregina
Appreciate ThePrint in throwing some light on to current state of affairs in R&D, Rapid Prototyping..
Hardware is so important until now we didn't even consider it
Sab IT CS me lage huye hai unfortunately and they basically create shitty betting Apps , become unicorns
Brilliant 👍
That is the way forward. Great news and video.
the name suggests most of them are malayalis why the government of kerala fails to provide such atmosphere in home...🙁🙁
Kerala govt is busy having sadhya lunches 😐jokes aside, kerala is good in many things..but industries are not promoted by govt due to feeling that it will take exploit labour . Ofcourse in many parts of india, that is happening and labour is exploited hugely.
But since this is mainly a prototype shop , it should be ok for kerala
In the description can you please provide the details of all the Three work spaces
I would say, do not sell the makerspace as some kind of china replacement, most of these boards are coming from China. Makerspace might be new concept in India, but it is a common thing in US and other western countries. In fact these maker spaces are so dependent on China that Makerspaces are just extension of Chinese chip and board manufacturers.
This is so idiotic news report. Unless we are manufacturing all chips and boards and sensors ourselves, we are doing nothing for Atmanirbar. Is this the kind of juvenile and unprofessional reporting that people are paying ThePrint. Shame Mr. Gupta. You are no better than these Right-wing Propaganda organizations.
This thing is not making us Atmanirbhar, there are other things like Chip Manufacturing etc.. that India is trying to do that will make us Atmanirbhar. Any engineer with some google help can assemble the components to build something, but Indian engineers are generally over rated because they are dime and dozen especially in Bangalore and Hyderabad.
There are only some colleges that are creating engineers of any use.
Having said all that, and being sorry for cynical outlook, I have to say that this kind of venture is good, but my anger and cynicism comes out of the claims made by this journalist or interviewees who have business interest in propagating their work.
Like EVs, India currently is not showing any innovative capability in Science, Engineering and Tech sector, just cheap copying or assembling.
Harsh but true.
Atmanirbar Bharat is a Ponzi scheme by the government to help ambani and adani.
Hey indian products are improving. Cars, trains, EV, apps..this is def good step
@@memelord7551 keep dreaming.
A country of supersitious and egoist about past will not make any scientific and engineering headway.Educate with scientific temper all our students. But the teaching faculty is very obscurist and bigotry mindset especially past few ears.Slogen will make things happen.
Great work
modis india.
Great story, well edited looking forward to a detailed one soon
Can you provide internship ?
The external design can surely be made locally. But silicon chips for anything intelligent, will have to be imported.
Bigq plants in india are now set up for that too
Billions od semiconductor chips wilk be produced
@@kwismwikama Not yet. It will take two years for a plant to come up
This is what schools should be like. Not memorising stuff thats not even needed.
please give detailed interview
It's Bengaluru ( official name) not banglore ( British name)
Ok but 4 year olds are wasting the space...should have a minimum age limit
Thank you The Print for bringing this in knowledge 🙏🏻
Often times Chinese sell their products at below cost price because they want to snuff out the competition. It's no different to what Amazon did and is still doing.
Also brar in mind that these are substandard quality with low reliability. In addition Indian consumers are averse to Chinese imported goods and components for quality as well as for nationalistic sentiment. So while there is a short term attractiveness for Chinese components the startup will fail in after the first time purchase!
It is called Capitalism.
Hell no! No one can operate in predatory pricing mode in the long term. Chinese components have always been cheaper across industries, and they still earn more than we do. Their components perform well. I work in this industry. I am a repeat customer of components made all over the world. Indians should grow out of stories their parents told them.
Indians can't compete because our governments eat up all the earnings as taxes.
@@chandekam1826 yup
@@chandekam1826 You have literally no idea how many companies have imposed anti-dumping laws just for Chinese. I will give you an example. The Chinese maker Xiomi in its initial days sold phones at 0 profit or even making losses. They were sustained by Chinese industry. China has no law against IP theft. So they copy easy and cut through the R&D-money. And they use this money to either sustain their business or invest heavily in advertising. So please stop being ignorant of things that are accepted world over. I have not even got into the human rights violations in their industry.
so we just doing casing for project here sill no pcb / ic in India !
We need these more over more of the other Indian cities. I kindly request makers pace to please try and open their chain in atleast Delhi, Bombay, Chennai, Kolkata, kanpur/prayagraj
IF YOU ARE READING THIS , WISH YOU ALL THE BEST MY BROTHERS .. LETS BUILD INDIA TOGETHER 🙂

We need to focus on using local made products as much as we can afford
Bangalore marketplaces aren't special for the reasons mentioned. Any makerplace is setup for affordable hardware prototyping. Machinery involved aren't that expensive or high-tech. You just have to know to work with them and anybody with basic math and science can master it. They are readily found in celebration fabrication centers
They are focusing on comparing Bangalore with others, why such comments are needed?
@@varulsm report needs more depth
Encouraging signs.
Needs to pick up the pace to be competative .
Lol is this child playground?😂😂 few useless machine not gonna makes a diffrence
Thats why education is important 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bravo 👏 u just played yourself u dumb 🦆
Username checks out..... Can't expect logic from someone like you
It makes a massive difference. A lot of creations only need basic tools and machinery which a lot of poor people don't have access to. More importantly it allows young people to explore some creativity and give them some type of experience an engineering that can help propel them into an actual engineering field of work. This place is a massive Warehouse with all types of tools and microchips and machinery. Are you supposed to shut it down because it doesn't have exactly the machinery you would like to see there LOL. The whole point of this is people that live in poor communities that would never have any ability to work with their hands on their passion have the ability to work with their hands on their passion.
