How We Work

  • We find promising communities to work with.
  • Co-experiment with them to bring new materials and forms.
  • Design and develop experiential products from the experimental materials.
  • Conduct user testing.
  • Ship the best products globally.

How We Create Impact

  • We use the communication frequency technique to find out the most prominent maker.
  • We actively work with him/ her.
  • His/ her influence brings in more makers.
  • Our experimental ideas often flow downstream into the network.
  • This results in a more innovative mindset throughout the network.

Institutional Collaborations

We collaborate with universities to take in Masters students. They explore creating new materials and new designs for textiles. By nurturing these budding talents, we not only foster the next generation of designers but also drive forward our mission of innovation and sustainability.

Our Fieldwork Stories

Mohan Das

Dzukou gives this community the raw materials to conduct experimentation. It is fun for the makers. The young people get bored easily otherwise. We need innovation in this sector.

Hari Das

My life is very busy. I get free from work after 11 PM. I sit to ideate then. That is the best part of the day. I like working with Dzukou because they give me the space to think and express my ideas.

Nomita

I get the opportunity to work from home and coordinate all other women in the cluster. Some of them are not happy in their lives. This gives them an income and a social life.
