Why didn't the Microsoft outage affect the Indian Railways?

Indian Railways primarily uses its own dedicated data centers and locally hosted systems for its operations, ensuring resilience and independence from external service providers like Microsoft. This strategic choice of maintaining a robust in-house IT framework helped Indian Railways avoid disruptions and continue its services seamlessly despite the widespread outage.

Less than 5% of Windows users were affected, all of them in the enterprise sector who had Crowdstrike installed. Journalism has fallen to such low standards that you just run with a headline that makes waves, no regards to the facts.

That's some desi jugaad right there! Indian Railways knows how to keep things running smoothly even during global outages. Impressive! 🚂🔥
