About FOSSRadar.in

India's comprehensive directory celebrating Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects through their founders, creators, core contributors, and community impact.

Our Mission

FOSSRadar.in exists to shine a spotlight on India's vibrant open source ecosystem. We believe that open source innovation from India deserves recognition, celebration, and a central platform where developers, organizations, and enthusiasts can discover and connect with incredible projects.

Our mission is to build a comprehensive, Git-based directory that showcases the diversity and depth of FOSS contributions from India—whether through their founders, creators, core contributors, organizational base, or projects that serve the Indian community.

What is FOSSRadar.in?

FOSSRadar.in is a Git-based, community-driven directory that highlights open source projects with connections to India. We showcase projects where:

Founders from India

Projects created by Indian founders, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are building the future of open source.

Organizations Based in India

Companies and organizations headquartered in India that maintain significant open source projects.

Community Impact

Why FOSSRadar?

Discoverability

India has thousands of talented open source contributors and innovative projects, but they're often scattered across platforms. FOSSRadar brings them together in one searchable, organized directory.

Recognition

We celebrate the contributions of Indian developers, organizations, and communities to the global open source movement. Every project listed here is a testament to India's growing influence in FOSS.

Connection

FOSSRadar helps developers find projects to contribute to, organizations discover talent, and users find solutions built by and for the Indian community.

Transparency

Built on Git with a PR-based submission workflow, every project addition is reviewed by the community. Our directory is fully open source, version-controlled, and transparent.
