About Maker Village

Billed as India's largest electronic-hardware incubator and ESDM facility, Maker Village operates inside the Kerala Technology Innovation Zone in Kochi. It is jointly run by the Government of Kerala and the central electronics-and-IT ministry, with the Kerala Startup Mission as a partner and IIITM-Kerala carrying out implementation.

Across 60,000 sq ft, the centre packs in co-working areas, electronics and instrumentation labs, a metal-machining bay, industrial 3D-printing and plastics units, and a surface-mount-technology line for production. Its focus sits squarely on the internet of things, wearables, and robotics, and it has incubated more than 82 hardware startups from Kerala, handing them design-automation and mechanical-design tools, marketing and prototyping support, and money through grants and loans.

Hardware founders in IoT, wearables, robotics, and electronic products who need specialised prototyping labs, SMT manufacturing, and hardware-savvy mentoring gain the most. It is online at makervillage.in.
