context_page_description: Maker's Asylum is a makerspace / hackerspace in Mumbai and New Delhi, inspired by Artisan's Asylum, Chaos Computer Club and other maker organizations. According to the Maker's Asylum's website, "Maker’s Asylum is a community makerspace with two locations, Mumbai and Delhi, India. For hardware entrepreneurs, it’s easy access to tools, technology and talent so they can prototype their ideas. For problem solvers, it’s a space to bump ideas with other like and unlike-minded folks who share your passion. For hobbyists, it’s a place to play. Don’t let those ideas die on the drawing board. Make it real."
context_section_description: Maker’s Asylum began when the ceiling of EyeNetra’s office in Mumbai fell down and broke all the furniture. Vaibhav, a carpenter by passion, hit social media looking for like-minded people in the city to join him in rebuilding the tables for his office. On November 7, 2013, eight DIY enthusiasts turned up at EyeNetra’s office and they made 3 tables on the first day. They decided to meet every Sunday and continue to build other fun things as well. The nascent community started to volunteer their tools and soon they ran out of space in the back room. They called that room — the Asylum.
