BharOS (formerly IndOS) is a closed-source, Android-based operating system developed by IIT Madras. It is funded by the Indian government, which intends to use it on government and public systems.
==History== In 2023, Competition Commission of India (CCI) filed two antitrust cases against Google, the developer of Android. In addition, there have been growing calls for an Indian app store that does not levy exorbitant sales tax; these two factors contributed to the creation of BharOS. It aims to reduce India's dependence on foreign software and promote the use of Indian technology (despite being an Android fork itself).
