Meraki the three years journey Ar. Shubham Kotawadekar PVPCOA Alumni shubham.artech@gmail.com
It started as a simple idea, an idea to execute some of the innovative ideas which otherwise not get pass drafting table. It was to get everyone involve in this process from designing to constructing. It was to bring everyone together for a cause and now after 3 years of Meraki, has grown more than what we had ever imagined. Each year, with new people getting involved has brought fresh perspective to this journey. Everyone taking responsibilities of different aspects of it has made Meraki functional and efficient. Meraki is a life lesson. It has made us more confident with our design and more willing to get out of our comfort zone. We are exposed to the diversity of thoughts, ideas and how others approach to design problems, which made us thoughtful and considerate. In this learning process we have an understanding : You are for Meraki and Meraki is for you. It’s a delight to see people getting involved in Meraki, adding value to it. It’s great to see students from other colleges want to be a part of it. All the appreciations, suggestions and critics had helped us improve and to do better and to keep working. And most important of all, we
are enjoying this journey at every turn. This is what we believe in that, it’s not about the product, it’s about process.
