BENGALURU - The Indian government has unveiled BharOS, a home-grown mobile operating system that is being pitched as the country’s answer to Google-owned Android and Apple-owned iOS, the world’s dominant mobile operating systems.
“Now we have to work on further development, especially on the app ecosystem of BharOS and the chipset that has to become aatmanirbhar ,” Mr Vaishnaw added. In this context, BharOS’ endorsement by the government signals India’s ambitions to reduce the dependence on foreign OS in smartphones and promote the use of locally developed technology and chipsets.
Mr Karthik Ayyar, director of JandKops, said BharOS, which stands for Bharat Operating System , offers automatic downloads of updates, gives access to a curated list of apps from organisation-specific app stores, and does not come bundled with apps allowing users more control over the permissions.
