A community for curious people

Build the future. Together.

Hackerspace Mumbai is the city's largest open-source #OSS community - a home for builders, generous mentors, and people who believe the best things are made in community. Established in 2011, we've kept Mumbai's longest-running tech meetup, #mumtechup, moving.

Events are moments.
Communities are journeys.

Community metrics

01 / The idea

Not a network. A neighborhood.

The internet gave us reach. We are here for the closeness β€” the kind that makes it easier to ask a β€œsilly” question, share a half-formed idea, or find the person who can help you take the next step.

What we care about

02 / Your path

There is no right way to be here.

Come to learn. Stay to make an impact.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Find a question that makes you curious.

  2. 02

    Participate

    Show up with your questions, skills, and stories.

  3. 03

    Contribute

    Make something useful with people you trust.

  4. 04

    Lead

    Create the conditions for someone else to grow.

03 / What we care about

What we care about

  • Everyone was new once

    First-timers get a named host, not a badge and a shrug. If you can find the door, you can find a seat.

  • Show, don't pitch

    Demos beat decks. Talks are about what you built and what broke, not about what your company sells.

  • Open by default

    Recordings, slides, code, budgets and the handbook are public. The community should be forkable.

  • Contribution over credential

    Nobody is asked where they studied. What you help with is the only rΓ©sumΓ© that matters here.

β€œThe best part is that nobody asks you to have it all figured out before you start.”
