Makerverse

What Makerverse does

Makerverse, now operating under the brand name OIMake, is a Hyderabad-based designer and seller of DIY STEM kits for children aged 6-14, legally constituted as Makercubs Technologies Private Limited. The company's product portfolio comprises approximately 12 SKUs organised into three lines — a Gadgets Collection (Bluetooth Speaker, Autorickshaw, Projector, Cherry Blossom Lamp, GloLamp, DigiSafe, TaskChamp, LED Light Bag), a Robotics line (Lumobug, GobbleBot, Emotibot, LumoBug Mini, Dust Ninja), and an Art + STEM Collection (ELectro Glow Art, Light-Up Flower Garland). All kits share a common technology platform: precision laser-cut wooden panels joined by a proprietary rubber-band locking system and wired with modular, plug-and-play electronic components (DC motors, LEDs, LDR sensors, battery holders, switches) that require no soldering. Each kit is designed for independent assembly by children aged 7+ with minimal adult supervision, is BIS/ISI certified, and carries a lifetime parts replacement warranty. Pricing ranges from approximately Rs. 871 to Rs. 1,541 per kit (roughly $10-$18).

The company makes money through two complementary revenue streams: direct-to-consumer hardware sales via its Shopify-hosted e-commerce site (oimake.com, the primary channel) and the Amazon India marketplace, plus paid service revenue from in-person Young Makers Workshops across seven partner venues in Hyderabad and a STEM Summer Camp At-Home programme (Rs. 4,500 for a five-kit bundle with live Saturday Google Meet sessions, reduced from Rs. 6,000). The customer base is split horizontally into two primary segments — children aged 6-14 as end-users and their parents as purchasers — with a secondary institutional channel emerging through partner venues (FirstCry Intellilot, AppuWorld, Iris Florets, SAS Institute, DEClutterED, Mente Learn). Marketing combines content (MakerVerse Blog on electronics topics), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube @MakerVerseDIY), the Amazon India listing, and experiential workshop events. The company is bootstrapped with no external institutional investment, operates as a Made-in-India brand with 100% domestic design and manufacturing, and ships pan-India with free delivery but does not currently ship internationally.
