How India can Contribute to the Global OSS Community

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

India already builds and operates massive public digital infrastructure and can shift from consumer to contributor by focusing on reusable components, tooling, and contributor pipelines. Aadhaar: 1.2 billion IDs and UPI: mobile‑first instant payments are concrete platforms with APIs and live scale. GSTN code underpins invoicing for most medium and large firms. National policy currently disallows software patents, lowering legal friction. The gap is low upstream contribution rates and few funded maintainer teams.
