From YouTube: Open Source for India. India for Developers: Guest Keynote I GitHub Constellation India 2022
Description
The phenomenal growth in India for the tech industry, startups and government initiatives are on the back of Open Source. Open Source is helping build our Digital Nation. Nandan talks about the ecosystem from his vantage point and how he sees developers being at the core of this transformation.
A
Good
day
and
I'm
really
privileged
and
honored
to
be
addressing
this
github
constellation
india
event,
the
open
source
movement
has
become
more
and
more
relevant
around
the
world
and
in
india,
and
I'm
truly
delighted
to
be
addressing
all
of
you
before
I
get
into
the
open
source
aspect
of
it.
I
thought
I
would
just
tell
you
why
india
is
now
in
its
tech
decade
and
therefore
why
the
work
that
you
do
has
become
even
more
critical
and
important.
A
A
The
third
100
billion
dollars
is
going
to
come
in
three
to
four
years,
so
the
first
100
million
was
30
years.
The
second
hundred
billion
was
ten
years
and
the
third
hundred
billion
is
coming
in
three
to
four
years.
That
shows
you
the
acceleration
of
what
is
happening
globally
in
india.
We
currently
have
about
4.5
million
developers
in
across
the
it
industry
and
startups,
and
so
on.
This
is
expected
to
double
to
about
9
to
10
million
developers
in
the
next
decade.
A
So
what
took
40
years
to
reach?
4.5
million
developers
will
now
double
in
just
10
years.
So
you
see
that
there's
the
acceleration
of
talent
in
this
industry
and
nowhere
else
in
the
world.
There
is
such
a
wide
food
of
developers
and
engineering
talent.
So
this
is
trend.
Number
one
trend.
Number
two
is
of
course,
the
dramatic
growth
in
the
startup
industry.
A
A
Digital
companies
went
public
that
is
nika
or
paytm
or
zomato,
and
we
expect
to
see
more
in
the
coming
years
and
india
is
facing
a
huge
opportunity
because,
on
the
one
hand,
global
capital
is
coming
here,
even
though
there
is
some
amount
of
capital
slow
down
because
of
the
fact
that
the
interest
rates
are
going
up
in
the
us
and
so
on,
it
will
continue
to
be
in
india,
because
a
lot
of
the
capital
that
was
earlier
going
to
china
is
coming
to
india.
So
that's
number
one.
A
We
are
seeing
a
lot
of
opportunity
in
india
both
in
the
domestic
products
market,
as
well
as
in
the
global
sas
market.
So
we
see
a
lot
of
companies
and
then,
of
course,
emerging
new
areas
like
crypto
and
metaverse,
and
so
on
and
india
has
a
tremendous
pool
of
very
exciting
young
founders
who
have
the
ambition,
the
energy
and
the
goal
of
creating
global
companies.
A
They
are
very
high
volume,
very
low
cost,
very
small
transaction
value
and
all
in
real
time.
The
first
of
these
was
aadhaar,
which
I
essentially
led.
The
organization
called
uidai
from
2009
to
14.
I
was
employee
number
one
of
this
government
startup
and
that
led
to
1.3
billion
people
being
issued
a
digital
id
called
aadhaar,
which
has
become
ubiquitous
for
authentication
and
kyc
across
the
country.
A
A
Each
bank
account
getting
a
few
hundred
rupees
and
they
were
able
to
do
that
using
the
dbt
and
india
runs
the
world's
largest
dbt
program
and
at
the
other
end
there
is
something
called
the
aadhaar-enabled
payment
system
which
allows
you
to
withdraw
money
using
a
phone
and
a
biometric
authentication
in
any
village,
and
that
system
alone
does
maybe
100
million
transactions
every
month.
So
all
these
things
have
made
a
dramatic
impact
on
the
people
and
the
benefit
they
get.
A
in
october
of
2016
upi
did
100
000
transactions
in
november
2016,
you
had
the
withdrawal
of
currency
notes,
what's
popularly
called
as
demonetization,
and
then
digital
payments
took
off
last
month
alone,
upi
did
5
billion
payments
and
the
transaction
value
of
upi.
In
the
financial
year
ending
march
31st
2022
was
over
one
trillion
dollars.
A
A
A
Then
there's
the
new
account
aggregator
system,
which
is
coming,
which
allows
individuals
and
businesses
to
leverage
their
own
data
to
get
benefits.
So
a
small
business
can
use
its
gst
data
to
get
a
loan.
A
consumer
can
use
his
salary
data
to
get
a
loan
and
so
on,
and
account
aggregate
is
a
big
thing
which
is
happening.
A
A
A
This
is
13
years
back.
We
took
a
very
conscious
decision
that
we
would
build
this
using
a
completely
open
source
stack
using.
You
know,
hadoop
and
mysql
and
all
kinds
of
things
which
I
mean
we
kept
changing
the
stack
but
they're
all
using
open
source
elements,
mq
series
and
so
on,
and
at
that
time
it
was
a
radical
thing.
Nobody
in
india
had
done
such
a
large
project
using
open
source.
A
We
did
it,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
have
a
platform
that
can
issue
1.3
billion
others
do
50
million
authentications
a
day
at
a
very
low
cost,
because
the
entire
stack
is
using
open
source
and
in
fact,
subsequently,
there
has
been
an
initiative
called
moscept,
which
is
a
modular
open
source
in
identity
platform,
which
is
been
developed
as
a
public
good
developed
at
triple.
I
t
bangalore
and
many
countries
are
using
this
open
source
platform.
A
A
A
That
has
made
upi
very,
very
cheap
and
very
very
easy,
very
low
cost
hardware,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
npci
is
able
to
offer
it
at
such
a
low
or
no
cost,
and
in
fact
npci
has
become
one
of
the
foremost
users
of
open
source
and
using
the
underlying
open
source
transaction
infrastructure.
Upi
many
of
the
other
products
from
npci
like
aeps
and
imps,
have
all
been
reconfigured
to
sit
on
top
of
the
open
source
stack
and
that's
been
a
very
big
moment
within
npci
and
therefore
upi
and
other.
A
A
third
example
is
something
which
a
foundation
that
I
support,
called
xtf
foundation,
is
built,
which
is
a
complete
set
of
open
source
modules
for
education
learning
and
skilling
called
sun
bird.
It's
all
on
github,
it's
all
out
there.
It's
all
under
a
very
good.
I
think
mit
license
and
many
people
are
using
modules
from
that.
A
The
indian
government
has
built
a
education
platform
called
diksha,
which
was
very
useful
in
the
pandemic,
because
it
would
reach
millions
of
teachers
and
students.
The
entire
diksha
platform,
the
underlying
infrastructure,
is
all
open
source
sun
bird
in
from
india
and
that
again
is
being
looked
at
by
countries
around
the
world
as
something
that
they
can
take
to
reimagine
their
learning
and
education.
A
During
the
pandemic,
we
had
to
india
to
launch
a
program
to
get
multiple.
You
know
get
millions
of
people
billion
people
to
get
vaccinated.
One
part,
of
course,
was
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
vaccines
manufactured
here
like
what
was
done
by
serum
institute
and
bharat.
Biotech
particularly
important
was
their
digital
infrastructure
for
that,
and
hence
the
government
launched
the
govind
platform
it
was.
A
A
I
do
believe
all
of
you
can
play
a
huge
role
in
building
a
bigger
community,
open
source
developers
in
playing
a
larger
role
in
global,
open
source
products
and
launching
india's
own
open
source
products
that
can
be
taken
globally
and
therefore
make
a
huge
difference
to
the
transformation
of
india
and
the
world.
Thank
you
and
have
a
great
event.
