About
Over the past decade, FOSS has become a significant component of modern technology, powering a large percentage of software solutions used regularly. FOSS offers the ability to study, adapt, share, and re-use software without the constraints of proprietary licensing. Beyond cost savings, organisations across sectors like healthcare, education, finance, and IT are discovering deeper benefits such as reliability, security, flexibility, and even the chance to strengthen their own in-house technical capacity. In this episode of All Things Policy, Anwesha discusses the recent "Rise of FOSS in India" report with co-author Rashi Singhal, Academic Fellow at NLSIU, where they cover key challenges and policy recommendations to support FOSS development.Link to the reportAll Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.Find out more on our research and other work here: https://takshashila.org.in/research-areasCheck out our public policy courses here: https://school.takshashila.org.in
