GitHub brings initiatives for Indian developers and students
By MYBRANDBOOK
GitHub has announced a group of initiatives for developers, students and startups in India, including open-source grants worth Rs 1 crore and a partnership with Nasscom to reskill professionals. The company also introduced fellowships for students with companies in India and extended its enterprise licenses to over 1,000 new startups in the country.
Erica Brescia, Chief Operating Officer, GitHub, said, “For us, India is the fastest growing country in the world for GitHub. We have some incredible female leaders on the open source platform from the country who are developing for the world. By the third anniversary of GitHub India, in February 2023, we believe more than 10 million developers in India will be calling GitHub home. Together, Indian developers created 7.3 million new repositories over the past year, an increase of 81 per cent compared to the year before. One million developers in India created their first repository on GitHub this past year, more than any other country in the world.”
As GitHub continues to grow its developer community in India, the company, during its two-day ‘GitHub Satellite India’ virtual event that kicked off on Friday, said it has introduced three new programmes for India: GitHub Open-Source Grants, GitHub Externships, and GitHub Accelerate. To support the growing community of student developers in the country, the ‘GitHub Externships’ will help connect the dots between open source, the next generation of software developers and successful companies.
Companies such as Infosys, InMobi, Udaan, ShareChat, Capillary Technologies, Swiggy, ArisGlobal and several others have selected GitHub to collaborate and build the software that powers their businesses, accelerating digital transformation.
The company said that its ‘GitHub Accelerate’ programme will now be expanded to more than 1,000 new startups. GitHub also announced a partnership with the Nasscom ‘FutureSkills’ programme.
