OpenSourceDB at Open Source India 2026

Hari Kiran presented the story of Telangana’s MeeSeva ESD migration from Oracle 11g to PostgreSQL at Open Source India 2026 in Bengaluru.

The session highlighted how 500+ critical citizen services were migrated with zero data loss, while eliminating proprietary licensing costs and reducing infrastructure requirements by 67%.

The OpenSourceDB booth was managed by Hari, Amar, Siva, Keerthi, Chandini, and Praveena, engaging with attendees and introducing them to OSDB’s work and PostgreSQL solutions.

The presentation demonstrated how PostgreSQL and open-source technologies can help deliver cost-effective, reliable digital public services.

Hari Kiran represented OpenSourceDB at Postgres Pune 2026, presenting “From Insight 1.0 to 2.0: Solution Engineering Postgres in a Regulated, Nation-Scale Tax Platform.”

The session explored how PostgreSQL can power a regulated, nation-scale tax platform, covering high availability, cross-region disaster recovery, performance benchmarking, and secure AI integration using pgvector.
