This is great. However, I'd rather Zerodha just award the FOSS projects they use instead of having random projects apply. I hope many more companies do this especially the big companies. I'm guessing there are also tax incentives at play here.

From the blog post

> In addition, we have given out many sizeable grants to FOSS projects and organisations in India. While funding projects outside India involves significant paperwork and operational overhead, we have reached out to several small and large projects that we use at work and have managed to pay them. This highly ad hoc approach is something that has increasingly bugged me though.
