Starting January 2026, I will start “Bodhya", an experiment to create tech opportunities for students in #Bihar at home. December 2025 marks my last month as full-time staff at FOSS United, but I’ll continue as a volunteer for @FOSSUnited. https://t.co/5rxCiUqPS3 1/2

For years, I've watched countless youth from Bihar, like myself, leave our homes in search of better opportunities. Even now, most students look at migration...

Kindly explain smart marketing in details.
@nileshtrivedi @Nithin0dha Completely agree, huge shoutout to them for their FOSS contribution Though, this might be smart marketing, dont you say?

Zerodha's $100k donation to FFmpeg, while by their own admission not using it that much, makes it even more generous. Companies with businesses depending on FFmpeg should (but probably won't) learn from such generosity.
@Byte4ge_ @Nithin0dha Hi, our usage is minimal and limited to internal functions, nothing client-facing. But our donation was motivated by the simple fact that we view FFMPEG as globally critical infrastructure.

From doubting about sitting in placements at IIT, to next day meeting people/teams like Mr. Kailash Nadh (@zerodhaonline), @gggodhwani (@CivicDatalab), Samaaj Data, @tattlemade, @Tech_4Good, @frappetech, @FOSSUnited, and so many more. @IndiaFOSS 2025 was all I needed. FOSS FTW🔥

scenes at IndiaFoss @FOSSUnited when amazing Open Source projects are built with love and lots of passion. Where knowledge is doubled at every conversation between maintainer, volunteers and visitors. @dwani_ai AI for Indian languages turned a few heads #fossunited #dwani

Gettin' to really love this guy. Zerodha CTO Kailash Nadh made an opinionated—and halfway-decent—YAML replacement: https://t.co/oNvuVEYhFV.
@chadwhitacre_ @prasunanand17 @NisarHogaya @HrideshMg @prateek_su @enteio @ThePledge @mrkaran_ @PBStoryWeaver flexibility in programming, flexibility in markup languages is overrated. 17/n #IndiaFOSS follow the live-stream https://t.co/XRLFVFdzpu

I'm coming prepared to @IndiaFOSS this year. This is the most I've been excited for a conference in a long time. I'm particularly looking forward to the public policy-FOSS overlap, which is very unique to @FOSSUnited, and I feel has been growing in the last ~3-4 years.
