It has been an absolute delight to pursue my dream of JaduPc: a magical, affordable computer for all countrymen. Started the project back in 2014 - failed after 1 year of pursuit; started over again in 2018 - another round of failure. As they say, third time's the charm: 2022-2023 was the defining year for JaduPc. JaduPc became market ready and a reality during our the team's hard work in 2022-23. Many thanks to JaduPc co-founder and CTO Ragib Ehsan - with his ShopnoOS; and the dream to build a computer to mitigate the digital divide all over the world.
