IIT Madras graduate Shreeram Gobinath and his co-founders turned a model they built in a hostel room into Modulus Housing, which has now made more than 1,500 foldable buildings that travel to remote parts of India

The ability to produce and ship foldable buildings quickly can help schools, clinics and remote communities get needed space without long construction delays, addressing urgent infrastructure gaps.
Imagine a school that needs extra classrooms, a clinic waiting for more space, or a remote community that cannot afford to wait months for a building. What if some of these structures could be manufactured in factories, transported to the required location and assembled far more quickly than conventional construction?
Modulus Housing creates modular, factory‑built structures that can be flat‑packed, transported and assembled on site, a construction approach that speeds up building times and reduces costs compared to traditional on‑site construction.
