Vaibhav Chhabra is the creator of one of India’s first so-called fabrication laboratories, otherwise known as a “makerspace” – a workshop where people can meet, exchange ideas and create. His space is called the Maker’s Asylum, “because it’s a crazy place for makers,” he says laughing. During the pandemic, the lab came to the forefront of the international scene thanks to its online open-source manuals to make face shields, and repair oxygen concentrators when the country was going through a major shortage.

Check out his portrait in this episode in collaboration with Geneva Solutions.
