In 2015, a new operating system was introduced to the mobile users around the world. This is the first of its kind - regional based operating system. The very aspect of this OS is to be read and operated by every common man in India and the World without any discomfort of not knowing English.
The founder, Rakesh Deshmukh [CEO] has begun his journey along with his friends, Aakash Dongre [CPO] and Sudhir B [CTO]. Three key people who are from IIT, Bombay had the vision to provide the simplest OS that can be used by any common person. Fortunately, they were funded by Hari Padmanabhan, alumni of IIT. He's also the mentor for this project.

Started with little ease, the company has risen to fame in less time. The company statistics shows us that there are already 5 Million users in India and it's ranked #2 for having wide users. It's based on Android and even has its own store called App Bazaar. Out of 5 Million people, 90% have registered with the app and are using it daily. The other 10% have been using it on monthly basis.
The operating system is called Indus OS, formerly FirstTouch. The operating system has been awarded several times based on the users and its capacity to provide the worry-free environment. Currently, it can support 12 regional languages and English. The regional language list includes - Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.
The young entrepreneurs have taken a right decision and are striving hard to establish a common platform for common people. The OS not only supports different languages, it will support translate, transliterate and much more. Fully customizable keyboards, menus and even clock allow users to feel safe and home with their native language. The OS has been downloaded more times than Apple's Osx.
The official mobile support includes Karbonn, Micromax and Celkon. The official site is linked here for your convenience. http://www.indusos.com
