we make things that you can study, improve and share freely :)
Most of the technology around you is sealed shut. You can't open it, you can't fix it, you can't really call it yours.
Absurd is an indie technology studio that believes that technology gets better when everyone can participate - like a recipe, a song, or a garden!
So, we build tools, gadgets, and information that can be freely shared, modified and extended.
Meetups every month, hands-on workshops and showcases, and a Discord that never sleeps. Show up curious - leave able to build!
We design and make everything in public, then put every design and specification out in the open. Study them, fix them, or make your own.
We help other hardware teams get their thing built, funded, and in the hands of people who really want it.
Where to buy parts, who to ask, how not to get burned - the know-how for building electronics in Bengaluru, and India, made more accessible.
Talks, builds, and behind-the-scenes from the meetups.
Communities and companies building open hardware alongside us.
