“Open Source is a community where original source code designed by various authors is made freely available to others who would like to view that code, copy it, learn from it, alter it, or share it. Today, it is the need of the hour,” said Kapoor while speaking about the significance of open source.

“We are glad to have the leaders of the Open-Source Community as our community partners.
