Sovereign Browser for India's National Operating System (BOSS Linux)
We built the browser that ships inside India's own national operating system, so millions of government machines can get online without depending on any foreign software vendor.

The problem
India's government machines needed a browser that was part of a nationally owned OS, not a foreign product that could change terms, harvest data, or be switched off from abroad.
Solution & architecture
We developed and contributed the browser module for BOSS Linux (Bharat OS), C-DAC's Debian-based national OS. It integrates with the BOSS desktop, meets government IT-security standards, and renders 18+ Indian scripts.
Why it is built this way
Sovereign by design
Core software owned and controlled inside India
No foreign dependency
Runs without any overseas vendor in the path
Language inclusion
18+ Indian scripts rendered natively
