officially launched
its operations in
India in February
last year, the
company has
witnessed
phenomenal growth
in the country. Over
1.8 million new
developers have
joined GitHub in
India over the past
year with the
community in India
now totalling 5.8
million developers.
The number of
contributions on the
platform, such as issues and team discussions increased by 75 per cent in India compared to
about 40 per cent for the rest of the world over the past year. In public repos, the number of
contributors increased by 80 per cent over the previous year and over 1 million developers created
their first repository on GitHub in India, making it the fastest growing country in the world, in terms
of developers contributing to open source. GitHub predicts the community will grow to more than
10 million developers in India by 2023.
 
The company is witnessing the same level of engagement and growth across enterprises
embracing open source. The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation and urged
companies to adopt more flexible ways of working to continue to innovate and remain relevant. In
less than a year, the adoption of GitHub Enterprise by businesses based in India has tripled.
Companies such as Infosys, Cognizant, InMobi, Udaan, ShareChat, Capillary Technologies,
Swiggy, ArisGlobal and many others have chosen GitHub to collaborate and build the software
that powers their businesses, accelerating digital transformation, no matter where their developers
are based. In addition, GitHub partners including Amrut Software, Canarys Automations, CXIO
Technologies, DevTools, Embee Software, G7CR Technologies and Sonata Software are helping
customers across India embrace an agile, secure and collaborative software development culture.
 
Maneesh Sharma, Country Manager, GitHub India said, “India has become an innovation
powerhouse, with open source software development at the core. The growth in activity and
engagement shows how powerful and invested India’s software development has become. Indian
developers are truly building the future of software and the country is uniquely positioned to
continue to drive innovation that accelerates human progress. We, at GitHub, are humbled to serve
and celebrate this community connected by code and it is a privilege to be part of this incredible
journey, empowering the developer community and businesses in India, to build the technology
that is driving the nation’s growth.”
 
As GitHub continues to grow its developer community in India, the company has introduced three
new programs for India: GitHub Open Source Grants, GitHub Externships, and GitHub Accelerate.
 
To support and fund open source maintainers and contributors in their important work, GitHub
has launched the GitHub Open Source Grants for India. GitHub will offer grants for a total sum of
INR 1 crore (10 million) to celebrate and support the extremely valuable open source projects that
are driving innovation across India, and raise awareness of this important work to attract more
software contributions from the developer community across the world.
 
India is also home to one of the largest communities of student developers in the world. In 2020,
GitHub saw the number of students participating in the GitHub Campus program increase by 142
per cent. Over 100,000 students signed up to GitHub Student Developer Pack and its campus Start-Up and Unicorn
offering was adopted by more than 100 higher-education institutions in India. To support this
growing community of student developers, the company is launching GitHub Externships, which Ecosystem

builds on GitHub's Campus offering by providing students a unique opportunity to engage with AI could play
crucial role in
companies in India, via fellowship programs, and build the right skills future developers need, to growth of farm
