Special features of BharOS

• India is one of the largest smartphone market in the world. There are more than 1 billion mobile users, in which a large number of people use smartphones. The government wants that there should be an indigenous operating system for such a large population.
• Currently, 97 percent of smartphones run on the Android operating system. The rest of the smartphones depend on Apple’s iOS operating system. In such a situation, after the arrival of BharOS, the OS of Google and Apple will get a tough challenge.
