I have always wanted to be a member of one. We barely have any such places here.

I would pay for a membership if it is somewhere closer to my house and is clean. Most of the time I see labs very disorganized and is hogged by the know it alls.

We could start with a CS focused meetup group. There is this meetup group by Phil Eaton[1] which I haven't joined yet. Maybe that would be a great place to start to build a India focused maker group.

Hmm. I am more interested in the Maker/DIY culture. Somehow in India we have lost all of this and even if we have, it is pushed to some grungy areas of the city where it is mainly chop shops and scrap dealing.

I still remember in the 1980's and 90's when I was a kid where we had a lot of repair shops especially for TV and radio/transistors. It was back when things were costly and people used to repair stuff. Now people don't have the skills to repair any more.

me too. Hello @mindtropy
