In today’s world of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and rapidly evolving technologies, open source is at the heart of innovation. And in India, there’s one event that has been leading this revolution for over two decades—Open Source India (OSI).

Organised by the team behind Open Source For You magazine, OSI is not just a tech event. It’s a celebration of everything open source, from developers and startups to enterprises and government initiatives. If you're a techie, student, entrepreneur, or simply curious about how open source is shaping the digital future—this is where you need to be.

Launched in 2003, Open Source India is Asia’s biggest and longest-running open-source conference. The event brings together thousands of developers, IT professionals, startups, and open-source enthusiasts under one roof to explore the latest in software, tools, platforms, and community initiatives.

Whether you're interested in AI, DevOps, cloud-native development, security, databases, or just getting started with FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)—OSI has something for you.
