Maker Fest is an Indian version of the global Maker Faire movement, which began in California in
2006. Maker Fest Vadodara is an annual event that has been bringing innovations to light since 2019.
Creators from different walks of life such as tech enthusiasts, artists, educators, tinkerers,
hobbyists, engineers, science experimenters, fusionists, environmentalists, food artisans, and
early-stage startups participate as Makers. From young inventors to well-experienced veterans,
people from all age groups are welcome.
Makers showcase their captivating creations, and those who attend get a sneak peek into the future.
It's not just about observing - it's a place to spark your inner maker and learn how to make your
own ideas a reality! Over 300 maker teams have joined the journey of Maker Fest Vadodara so far,
making their mark on the canvas of innovation. Our aim is to build a culture of innovation, give a
platform to innovators who don't get one, celebrate the efforts of creators, and ensure they receive
constructive feedback to enhance their creations.
Hosting the 6th edition of an event as large as this is an important milestone for us and we are
organizing the event at a grand scale.
The previous year has seen a comeback to physical spaces from virtual and has seen an exponential
increase in the Unicorns of India. Apropos, innovation in all spheres has taken off and the
expectation is many unique ideas (across products, services and new business models) would have
matured till the prototype stage.
We will bring together a large canvas of Makers from disciplines such as technology (hardware &
software), education, environment, physiotherapy, pure sciences, pharmacy, agriculture, art and
others. We shall carry forward this grand celebration of makers-creators-innovators with a vibrant
and festive environment and an uninterrupted flow of visitors. There will be workshops by experts
and talks by eminent speakers.
More than 50 worthy teams will be chosen after a rigorous process by a team of domain experts. We
provide a free stall, food, a kit and participation certificates to all Makers and prizes worth ₹ 2
Lakhs are to be won by the winners of 2024 in multiple categories.
Makers will get the opportunity to interact with invited mentors, industry experts and incubation
centers, get product/idea validation of their creations and stay connected with them for a longer
association. Makers also will get to pitch their ideas and present their concept or product on
stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check Who Makes The Event Possible
“ In Maker Fest Vadodara 2020 I showcased working models of Remote
Controlled aircrafts F22 fighter jet, C-47 Airbus, Eagle & Quadcopter.
Throughout the 2 days I felt as if I was the highlight of the whole event
because of the enthusiasm of the crowd to experience my models and their sound! I
was also provided a good space to display the working models comfortably.
Subsequently almost all the visitors have visited & supported my YouTube channel
as well.
The organizers and volunteers were very nice and cooperative. It was an amazing
experience to participate in this event.

“ Maker Fest Vadodara was a huge push for my artwork as I got to
reach thousands of visitors to share what I do and how I do it. I was very satisfied
with the footfalls. It was quite encouraging to see all visitors sincerely
understood the art and appreciate how effortful custom-art can be. I also received a
lot of enquiries during & after the Fest & it has accelerated my brand-building. It
has gone a long way in motivating myself to keep creating wonders even now.
I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity Yuvalay & VIC has provided to
creators like me. It is fascinating to witness so much novelty on one ground.
