Government announces invitation for startups to develop home grown videos conferencing solution
By MYBRANDBOOK
The IT ministry has announced a challenge for innovators and software product startups, called, “Innovation Challenge for Development of a video conferencing solution.”
Under this solution, the government is looking for ten startups to develop indigenous video conferencing solutions under the Digital India initiative to enable smooth remote operations as well as teleconferencing between agencies and state governments.
Each startup will be provided with INR 5 Lakh to develop the prototype of the product. Once approved, the shortlisted startups will be granted INR 20 Lakhs to develop the final product. In total, the IT Ministry has set aside INR 2.3 Cr for the same.
The video conferencing should be able to function without any glitches even in low bandwidth areas. The winning solution will be deployed for the use of the central government and its departments, along with the state government entities for a period of four years. The government has also clarified that all the participating startups and entities, including the winning entity, will be allowed to market the product to other organisations outside India. However, the startups will have to host it in a separate environment for non-government customers.
With physical distancing and self quarantining becoming the new norm, the video conferencing tools, whether for leisure or work, have been skyrocketing. While platforms like Zoom have started offering their services for free, other platforms like Instagram and Google Duo have increased the limit of users on the video call.
Even the Indian government has resorted to virtual conferences in order to stay in touch and discuss important issues of national interest.
