Microsoft's began the Shared Source Initiative last year in an effort to counter the image that it zealously guards its products. The programme is running in more than 30 countries where the source code has been shared with software developers, governments and specific academic institutions.

"In India, too, we are currently evaluating the prospect of introducing this initiative," he said.
