IITM incubated firm develops indigenous operating system for mobile phones

New Delhi: The "BharOS Service" is now being offered to organisations with strict privacy and security standards where users handle sensitive information and secret interactions are required.

The operating system was created by JandK Operations Private Limited, a company that IIT Madras incubated.

An indigenous mobile operating system that can help India's 100 crore mobile phone users has been developed by a company backed by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, according to the institute.

BharOS provides secure environment for users. The software, known as "BharOS," may be put on readily available cell phones. In addition to giving consumers a safe atmosphere, it makes a substantial contribution to "Atmanirbhar Bharat."

Currently, BharOS services are being offered to businesses with tight privacy and security standards whose employees handle sensitive data that necessitates secret conversations on constrained mobile apps. Such consumers require private 5G networks with access to private cloud services.

BharOS was created by JandK Operations Private Limited (JandKops), a Section 8 (not for profit) firm founded by IIT Madras & fostered by IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation. The National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems of the Government of India's Department of Science and Technology (DST) provides funding for the foundation (NMICPS).

"BharOS service is a mobile operating system built on a foundation of trust, with an emphasis on offering users with more freedom, control, and flexibility to choose and utilise only the apps that match their needs," stated Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras. The solution is expected to completely change how users see security and privacy on mobile devices.

BharOS has no default applications (NDA). Accordingly, consumers are not compelled to utilise programmes that they may not be familiar with or trustworthy. Additionally, this strategy gives users more control over the permissions that apps have access to on their device because they can decide to only give trusted apps access to certain functions or data.
