Mumbai means money!

All the money in all the businesses within India seems to move from within the city. The financial pulse of the nation can be felt here. Many BFSI institutions consider Mumbai their home.

That being said, BFSI & open source share a complicated relationship. Join this panel of OSPO heads who tackle open source concerns in their organizations. The panelists span a diverse range of institutions ranging from nationalized, national, and international institutions.

While their love for OSS is clear, as technology adopters, the ability of software teams within these orgs can be tiring on a good day, to trembling. The opportunity to consume open source is available for them, yet the sheer number of hoops they have to jump through can be daunting.
