What is Absurd?

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.

What We Do

We grow as a community

Meetups every month, hands-on workshops and showcases, and a Discord that never sleeps. Show up curious - leave able to build!

We build in the open

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 others build

We help other hardware teams get their thing built, funded, and in the hands of people who really want it.

We document

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.

We grow as a community

Talks, builds, and behind-the-scenes from the meetups.

Friends of Absurd

Join the Guild!

A warm, chaotic community of makers, students, and tinkerers - building in the open :)
