Having spent over a decade building, scaling, and contributing to open-source business application ecosystems—including key leadership and community building around ERPNext—we have witnessed the immense power of open source to democratize business software. Open-source frameworks allow teams to rapidly prototype applications, automate complex workflows, and retain complete control over their digital infrastructure.

Yet, as open-source frameworks expand into large enterprises, regulated industries, and government organizations, severe friction points emerge. Traditional framework designs often force a choice between rapid initial development velocity and long-term architectural stability.

We built Framework M to eliminate that compromise. This is our story, our architectural manifesto, and our vision for enterprise-grade open source.

We have an exciting milestone to share: Framework M Software Foundation has officially been incorporated as a non-profit company (Company limited by shares under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, India).

From day one, our goal for Framework M has been simple: Build once. Scale forever. Achieving that vision requires more than clean architecture, zero-touch provisioning, and type-safe DocTypes—it requires long-term stability, transparent governance, and true vendor neutrality.

Establishing the non-profit Foundation early lays the groundwork for that commitment.

We are excited to announce the pre-alpha release of Framework M, a modular, metadata-driven full-stack framework designed for building scalable enterprise applications.
