IIT Madras grads' Modulus Housing has built 1,500+ foldable structures

Chennai-based Modulus Housing, founded in 2018 by IIT Madras civil engineering graduates Shreeram Ravichandran and P Gobinath, makes factory-built, foldable and reusable buildings for places where conventional construction is slow. The idea took shape after the 2015 Chennai floods. The startup says it has delivered over 1,500 structures, including classrooms and clinics, across 21 Indian states and parts of Africa.
