IIT-incubated firm develops indigenous Operating System

An IIT Madras-incubated firm has developed an indigenous mobile operating system called BharOS which is being provided to organisations that have stringent privacy and security requirements and where users handle sensitive information. BharOS, a play on Bharat Operating System, is an indigenous OS that can be installed in commercial off-the-shelf handsets and is touted by IIT to be a contribution towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat. “BharOS focuses on providing users more freedom, control and flexibility to choose and use the apps that fit their needs,” said V. Kamakoti, director, IIT Madras. “BharOS offers Native Over The Air updates that are automatically downloaded and installed ensuring that the software is up-to-date with security and bug fixes,” said Karthik Ayyar, director, JandK Operations.
