The Indian government is working to develop a policy that will encourage the development of an indigenous operating system to compete with the world's two most popular smartphone operating systems, iOS and Android.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, revealed the concept in a recent interview.
According to Chandrasekhar, the mobile phone OS is currently dominated by Google and Apple, with no third party. So, there is a great deal of interest in MeitY and the Government of India in developing a new handset operating system.
Therefore, the government is looking for capabilities within start-up and academic ecosystems to develop the made-in-India operating system.
