India all set to have its home-grown OS – IndOS
By MYBRANDBOOK
According to news reports, India is getting ready to have its own operating system which is publicly known as IndOS. This started with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) filing charges against Google for overexploiting the market of the Android mobile device ecosystem in India.
In India close to 97% of the smartphone users are using Android phones and hence the CCI goes ahead to charge a penalty of Rs. 1300 crore and certain other regulations. Amidst all of this, Google claims that doing so will make smartphones in India much more expensive and the proliferation of some unchecked apps.
Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar in parliament announced that India Government is planning to develop an ecosystem that will help in the development of the country’s own Operating System.
This step is extremely important to break the duopoly of Android and iOS in the operating system ecosystem. Although its share of Apple in the mobile market is really small there is no third competitor in the market. Android has been maintaining its dominance ever since.
In order to ensure the availability of fair choices to its users, this step will be detrimental to deciding India’s digital adoption. It has been claimed that android users are denied the security that they should be having right after purchasing the device. Google however admits that all those apps downloaded from the play store do not expose the users to unsafe platforms.
India in its indigenous operating system plans to break android’s dominance and provide safer platforms, but the dates for its launch are yet to be out.
