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.
