It is no secret that the smartphone market is a true duopoly these days, with the vast majority, or almost all, of all devices launched working only with the android or iOS. This centralized control in the two companies ends up bothering some people, one of them is the government of indiathat is studying to encourage a new system to compete with the two.

“There is no third party (mobile operating system). So, in many ways, there is tremendous interest in MeitY and the government of India in even creating a new device operating system. We are talking to people. We are looking into a policy for that.”

Development won’t be easy
As pointed out by Android Authorityefforts to create a system concurrent with the android and iOS is not new, with several previous failed attempts, such as the blackberry 10, bad OS, tizen, Windows Phone and WebOS. Therefore, planning has to take these previous attempts into account, and try not to go wrong where these systems went wrong.
One of the main points that should be decisive for the success of the Indian operating system is the support for applications android. This might be the quickest solution to create an attractive system for users, but this solution would still be tied to the android. But we will only know how the government of india intends to carry out her home operating system in the future when she reveals her plans publicly.
