About Karkhana Samuha

Karkhana Samuha is an NGO that focuses on making innovation in education inclusive and accessible to people, especially those on the margins, to achieve an equitable society.

At Karkhana Samuha, we practice participatory decision-making and co-creation by bringing partners, collaborators, and end users into every stage of our work. Our approach is guided by Human-Centered Design, helping us design with empathy and purpose. We use our Think, Make, Play, Improve (TMPI) Cycle as the foundation for how we design, create, and learn. We start by thinking creatively to shape ideas, then make quick prototypes to test and explore them. Through play, we reflect, gather feedback, and refine what works. These operational models are proven by academic literature and experience to lead to more innovative ideas and provide a meaningful voice to the intended end-users.

To make our process sustainable, we build Communities of Practice (CoP), spaces where educators, innovators, and partners learn together. We design learning resources that scaffold the growth of these communities and digital platforms that keep the learning ongoing, with the goal of gaining, sharing, and implementing knowledge to innovate locally and make a global impact.

Karkhana Samuha is part of the network of social enterprises, which comprises Karkhana Private Limited, a for-profit focused on designing STEAM learning kits, and Karkhana Global, a US-based non-profit focused on connecting innovative organizations in the global south with resources, expertise, and peers in high-income countries. All three partner organizations remain committed to a shared vision “to nurture a spirit of innovating locally to make a global impact,” but with varied missions and independent governance structures.
