India Reaches 27 Million GitHub Developers, Secures Second Place in Global Open‑Source AI Rankings

India now hosts 27 million registered GitHub developers, a figure reported by NEWKERALA.COM that reflects a year‑over‑year increase of about 8 percent and underscores the nation’s significant expanding digital workforce.

GitHub analytics rank India second globally for open‑source AI contributions, trailing only the United States, with Indian repositories accounting for roughly 12 percent of all AI‑related projects on the platform.

Open‑Source AI activity from Indian developers grew by an estimated 15 percent in the past twelve months, fueled by new university curricula, expanded cloud‑credit programs from major providers, and government incentives for AI research.

Tech industry executives warn that the talent surge could translate into billions of dollars of foreign direct investment, as multinational firms seek to partner with Indian open‑source contributors to accelerate product development and address global AI talent shortages.
