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

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?

Modular construction allows structures to be manufactured offsite and transported to locations where traditional building methods are too slow or expensive.

• •Further adoption of modular structures in remote or underserved areas.
• •Advancements in manufacturing and assembly speed for prefabricated buildings.
