Repair workshops are taking place at the Indian Institute of World Culture in Bengaluru as part of the annual "Repair Maadi" event organized by Saahas. The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2026, invites participants to bring items in need of repair or learn repair skills themselves. Saahas, a social enterprise focused on sustainable waste management, will offer laptop maintenance, carpentry from discarded wood, fabric waste decorations, and repair services for shoes, clothes, umbrellas, appliances, laptops, suitcases, and bags.
The goal is to extend the lifespan of items, reduce waste, and support livelihoods of repair professionals such as cobblers, tailors, and electricians.
