Currently..

Hi. I'm Mathura - a creative technologist based in Bangalore. I work on projects that increase accessibility to education!

Currently, I run a non profit - Paper Crane Lab. We are based in Bangalore, India focussing on education. We work towards increasing access to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education for all ages by combining STEM concepts with art and creative projects.

Aside from working in the non profit, a large part of my practice involves teaching. Over the last few years I have taught in various undergraduate and graduate new media courses in various institutions.
