Open source is a concept that envisions a collaborative, open process that results in the creation of a product. Open source has long been used in the computer community. The UNIX and later Linux operating systems, as well as the software that operates on those platforms, are created using open source research. The process functions by a sum of individual contributions. One person may have an idea for a useful software program, but may lack the programming skills necessary to make the software function. In open source, this is not a problem because one person’s end product is another person’s beginning product.

Open Source as implied is all about open, collaborative development process and solutions framework. Open source is the very antithesis to proprietary, licensed software, where there is no scope for re development and everything is bound by legalities of usage and copyrights. Open Source initiatives are worldwide and taking the cue from the open source community, governments has started to adapt this model and has advocated this shift in their working and administrative paradigm.

Today, nearly every corner of the world faces the challenge of a stagnant or shrinking economy. Bleak economic forecasts, shrinking budgets and increasing pressure on businesses and governments to meet the needs of their customers and constituents—often with fewer resources to do so—are becoming commonplace.

India is, of course, not immune to these challenges. But the country is very well placed to meet them and mitigate them to a great extent. India is one of the world’s fastest growing tech economies and one of the leading participants in the global shift towards free and open source technologies—As such, India can play a central role in fostering and adopting the innovations driving its own economic and social growth as well as positioning itself for a larger role on the global economic and technological stage.
