Kailash Nadh, CTO of Zerodha, stated, "Without the high quality FOSS projects that we have freely downloaded and used to build our organization, products, and services, we would not exist as we do today - free as in both cost and freedom."
Nadh emphasizes the importance of funding for open source, saying, 'the scarcity of funding for open source projects has become a matter of acute concern, particularly as some cloud companies commercialize open source without giving much, if anything, back to the community.'
Zerodha has committed $1 million annually to FOSS projects, highlighting the debt technology companies owe to these projects for their existence and growth.
The reliance on various programming languages and databases showcases Zerodha's core operations being heavily supported by open source technology, affirming the vital role of FOSS in modern tech development.
