MOSIP is a product of the combined efforts of multiple stakeholders. Contributions from the community form the backbone of MOSIP and drive its growth and stability. The contributions have come in multiple ways, ranging from direct code contributions, review of design and architecture, bug fixing, and support for technology evaluation. In this section the MOSIP team would like to acknowledge the contributions of organisations and groups who have been instrumental in driving the project forward.
MOSIP partnered with LTIMindtree in August 2018 and since then it has been a fruitful association in areas of engineering, architecture, devops to name a few. Mindtree has contributed, through secondment of engineering resources, approximately 2260 person days of engineering effort, which roughly translates to more than 21000 person hours of work on the MOSIP project.

In 2022, Thoughtworks partnered with MOSIP as an engineering ally, embarking on a significant journey together. Key milestone was the creation of Tuvali, a BLE layer adhering to OpenID4VP standards. An alternate to Google Nearby, Tuvali facilitates the exchange of verifiable IDs across wallets and devices even without internet connectivity. This innovation empowers governments to effectively provide efficient and monitored citizen services.
Furthermore, the organization played a pivotal role in developing Inji Wallet, a digital VC wallet reference application. With a strong focus on security and inclusivity, Inji Wallet offers features for downloading, storing, managing, presenting, and verifying VCs within the MOSIP community. Built on OpenID4VCI standards, the wallet also includes data backup capabilities.
The organization has broadened its contributions to other essential components of the digital credentialing stack - Inji.

IIIT Bangalore has been home to MOSIP since its inception in 2018 and the students of the institute have been at the forefront of the MOSIP’s community-led development. The students have on an ongoing basis contributed to solving engineering problems in MOSIP for real-world applications. Their major ongoing contributions include:
Project 1: Reporting framework for real-time streaming of data and visualization. The dashboards give a visual display of metrics and important data to track the status of various pre and post-enrollment processes. Reporting framework involves setting up the data pipeline for populating data from the database to ElasticSearch.
A set of reference dashboards were also created as a part of this work.
Project 2: Registration officers/operators use the registration client application to enroll residents into the ID system. It is a thick client which works on machines with Windows OS.
Students have contributed to the development of Android equivalent of the Registration Client, which can be installed on Android tablets.
Project 3: Synthetic IRIS Data generation using ML algorithms
MOSIP test automation suite requires large set of synthetic biometric data such as IRIS. This project attempts to generate larger set of IRIS images from the given set of sample IRIS images. The solution is built using Guided-Diffusion with pre-trained models MOSIP USSD Proxy feature enhancements.
Project 4: MOSIP USSD Proxy feature enhancements
MOSIP USSD Proxy is a bridge between Telco SDP and MOSIP Instance. This allows to build custom USSD workflows.
The following workflows were developed under this project:
Check registration status for a given RID
Retrieve UIN Lock/Unlock status
Lock or Unlock a given UIN
