As part of initiatives such as Make in India, Startup India and Skill India, several maker communities are flourishing. These get-togethers bring several advantages. Such events lead to a process of self-discovery. Startups and company founders come together. This creates a fertile ecosystem ideal for business innovations to spring up. These forums eliminate barriers based on Age or gender. People from diverse backgrounds assemble together to co-create. They showcase the importance of perseverance and persistence to the younger crowd. A sense of global awareness develops as people from different parts of the globe are brought together. People in India do take pride in the culture of ‘jugaad’ but such movements identify root problems to eliminate rather than quick-fixes. The protection of Intellectual Property has long been the bane in India and this issue is addressed thoroughly. Participants in such movements end up inculcating holistic learning essential for overall well-being.
