About us

Origami Mitra is a group of Origami enthusiasts of all ages and from all backgrounds united by their passion for paper folding. The group was informally started by Late Mrs. Indutai Tilak and Mrs. Gita Kantawala. The goal is to spread awareness of Origami and its simple joy and its ample benefits to as large an audience as possible. With this in mind Origami Mitra organises exhibitions every year where we not only exhibit our art work, but also conduct workshops for the general public. The annual exhibitions now go by the name of Wonderfold.

The group has two branches one in Mumbai and one in Pune. The members are interested in various types of origami which makes our group collectively good at several fields of Origami. Our regular ongoing activities include regular meetings, folding Sundays and Camps.

A lot of the members are interested in the academic study of origami including its basis in mathematics as well as the applications of origami in fields of engineering, technology, architecture, product design, scientific research, mathematics research, etc. These members study these topics and also give talks in colleges, science centres and other educational places.
