Zerodha's $100k donation to FFmpeg, while by their own admission not using it that much, makes it even more generous. Companies with businesses depending on FFmpeg should (but probably won't) learn from such generosity.
29 Oct 2025
Hi, our usage is minimal and limited to internal functions, nothing client-facing. But our donation was motivated by the simple fact that we view FFMPEG as globally critical infrastructure.

From doubting about sitting in placements at IIT, to next day meeting people/teams like Mr. Kailash Nadh (@zerodha), @gggodhwani (@CivicDatalab), Samaaj Data, @tattlemade, @Tech_4Good, @frappetech, @FOSSUnited, and so many more. @IndiaFOSS 2025 was all I needed. FOSS FTW🔥
