Here's the market, we are mapping it for you.

Indian universities and educational institutions spend crores every year purchasing proprietary software. Help us build a credible list of alternatives and vendors who can provide them.

What are we up to?

We are mapping the software dependencies of universities across India. What tools these institutions use, how much they end up spending on it. We are building this data through RTI applications and aiming to corroborate it with community-led coursework audits.

What’s in it for you?

Troves of procurement data: If you build/service a FOSS alternative to, say MATLAB or ANSYS or any Office products, we have data on how universities across the country are procuring these tools and how much!

Help us build a credible list of alternatives and vendors who can provide them.

Our arguments and the data get stronger when you help us build/add existing FOSS alternatives you provide, to tools we are documenting! If you provide support, deployment or training services for any relevant FOSS tools, we want institutions to be able to find you!
