Hi there,

Have you heard of Shabad OS?

Our mission is to learn about Shabad and make it universally accessible to every person on the planet

Shabad OS currently facilitates this through providing technology in a couple of core forms:

• Database: A digital database of Sikh Bani, usable by any other developer or researcher. 9000+ downloads per week!
• Presenter: Used by Gurdwaras, live-streamers, and TV channels worldwide to present Gurbani to the masses, using the Shabad OS database. Millions of people have consumed the live captions that the Presenter produces.
• Mobile: An all-encompassing Gurbani app with an extraordinary focus on user-experience. Currently in active development!

We have so much more to do yet.

I joined at the end of 2017, after being graciously welcomed by the original masterminds behind the initative - Bhajneet Singh and Bhajanpreet Singh. I had promised to rewrite Shabad OS Presenter v1 in 2 weeks - I'm still here 3 years later, and thousands of hours logged!

Over the years, we'd grown a 3-man project into a non-profit, open-source organisation with a mission: making Gurbani accessible to all. I've believed in the values behind Shabad OS since day 1, and I truly believe that it is a sustainable model for future Panthic work: transparency, quality, community & collaboration. Fundamentally, the work done on Shabad OS is by the sangat, for the sangat.

To give you an idea of some of our users:

• Basics of Sikhi
• Dharam Seva Records
• DGN Sounds
• Central Gurdwara London + Gurdwaras all over the UK, India, US, and Malaysia.
• Sikh Channel
• Sikh Inside
• GurbaniNow
• Khalsa Foundation

So, if you see value in the work I've done so far, and would love to support my Shabad OS journey, I'd really cherish any amount of sponsorship.

I love working on Shabad OS, and believe in every minute that I put into the project. I've seen the impact it's had on organisations, individuals, and developers. I want to continue growing the Sikh tech ecosystem and working on projects that propel us forward.
