It operated its business only in UK till 2010. In 2010 it won Indian Government's proposal (human resources ministry) to develop low cost tablet or computer for Indian students and population. DataWind along with Indian Institute of Rajashthan developed student version called as Aakash, which is manufactured by Indian company Quad. Government gave it's assurance to purchase 10 millions aakash which costs only $35 or Rs.2,500 to distribute it for free among poor students. The project was developed conjointly with Indian Institute of Rajashthan under an e-learning programme to include college students. Wall street described Aakash as only low cost best 4 G tablet. Aakash is a student version of Android tablet computer. The commercial version of Aakash, which is more advanced than aakash will be marketed after few months in India and china as ubislate 7 at $60.
Aakash was officially launched in October 2011, and company has started its monetizing programme few days back by offering online booking. Right now only student version (Aakash) is available and pre orders can be placed for ubislate 7 on their website: http://www.akashtablet.com/
