Joka Source
Foundation
Open source IIM Calcutta Built across cohorts

Software should survive graduation.

Joka Source is a student-built foundation for software that belongs to the institution—not the graduating batch that started it.

One cohort starts it. The next makes it better.

The cell lifecycle

Autonomy without amnesia.

Small project cells own their roadmaps. Shared governance preserves the code, decisions, and context required for someone new to carry the work forward.

  1. 01

    Spawn

    A real campus need becomes a charter, an owner, and a public repository.

  2. 02

    Operate

    Contributors earn authority by doing the work. Each cell ships independently.

  3. 03

    Hand forward

    Every release leaves the next cohort better code, clearer decisions, and a path in.

Active project cells

Built for Joka.
Open to builders.

Products begin with one problem, then grow through transparent work and durable ownership.

01

Joka CV

Incubating

A structured CV and hiring system built to carry trusted work from campus to opportunity.

 02

AlumERP

Incubating

The governed alumni operating system for records, engagement, mentorship, and institutional continuity.

 03

Joka Connect

Forming

A consent-first network for the professional and social relationships that make the Joka community work.

The public record

Trust is a repository you can inspect.

Open by default

Code, charters, and decisions are public unless privacy creates a named exception.

Authority is earned

Contribution—not proximity, title, or tenure—is the path to commit and governance rights.

Retirement is designed

A cell that has served its purpose closes cleanly and carries its learning forward.
