Singham is known as an Agile evangelist, and is one of the figures who popularised Lean Revolution, like that of the Toyota business model.[3] He is also a major opponent of the proprietary software development and supports open access and the creative commons movement. Elaborating on this, Singham says, "I believe the world should have access to the best ideas in software for free. My goal is a technically-superior infrastructure to solve the world's problems."
