Start a company. Lookout for tenders floated by the government. Quote a price that's less than what others quote.
Correct me if I am wrong please. In this case, Maharastra govt. simply first appointed MS (or one of its "solution providers") to consult on what to do. NOT surprisingly, they did NOT recommend any free, or non MS software, and now MS is providing all the solutions.
So, I suspect there was NO open tender process. If there had been an open process, Novell/RH/Suse could have tried.
you mean that even then no *indian* *opensource* company would have tried?
