Hi Rushab, Thank You so much for your great contributions. I am really a big fan of yours . This is just my personal perspective, and I might be wrong, The Indian government and social media often hype initiatives around AI and tech, but when it comes to real support for Open Source projects, the backing is minimal. While China and other nations are investing heavily in foundational AI models and open-source ecosystems, India lags behind due to a lack of structured support and genuine recognition.
Beyond this, the market dynamics also play a huge role. Many companies spend millions on advertising, allowing them to dominate the narrative, while truly innovative and community-driven projects like Frappe, ERPNext struggle for visibility. Instead of just competing on traditional marketing, I strongly recommend building a grassroots presence through ambassador programs, college outreach, and local tech communities. Empowering students and professionals with hands-on exposure to Frappe can drive real adoption and create a sustainable movement. This would not only increase visibility but also create long-term advocates for the platform.
A strong community-driven approach can be more powerful than paid promotions, as seen with successful global open-source projects. It’s time to reshape the way Open Source is perceived and supported in India.
