New Delhi, 20 March: Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Union Minister of Railways, Electronics, and IT, announced on Thursday that India is ready to launch its own web browser, marking yet another significant step in the development of an indigenous internet ecosystem.
The statement was made by Vaishnaw during the Indian Web Browser Development Challenge (IWBDC) awards ceremony.
Sridhar Vembu founded Zoho Corporation, a software startup that took home the competition's top prize.
The challenge was organized by the government to promote the creation of a domestic web browser.
Vaishnaw emphasized the government's vision of transforming India into a "product nation" as opposed to only a supplier of IT services.
"Previously, government institutions were primarily responsible for product development; however, a more inclusive model is currently being adopted," he stated.
In order to ensure the widespread adoption of indigenous solutions, he emphasized the necessity of expediting the process from innovation to large-scale production.

The minister also urged industries and startups to concentrate on creating scalable and safe technology in order to increase India's digital independence.
An indigenous web browser would comply with India's Data Protection Act and improve data security, among other advantages.
India's digital sovereignty will be strengthened, the official statement said, by guaranteeing that user data stays in the nation.

Vaishnaw further emphasized how crucial it is to make India a product-driven country. He emphasized that India must now concentrate on developing and exporting its own technology products, even if he noted that the service industry is still vital to the economy.
