Description

This is a really cool project!

I was looking at the `India` figures and they are astonishing. 14M git pushes. 30M repositories. 12M developers. 450k orgs. In the FOSS communities that we're a part of here in India, a conversation that often comes up is the low number of widely used FOSS projects originating from here. But these numbers are hard to reconcile with that observation (anecdotal, of course) and perhaps indicate a different reality altogether.

It would be great if there was a way to get visibility into "popular" projects from geographies. Stars, forks etc. don't of course directly imply quality, usage, or even popularity, but may serve as an indicator. Perhaps there are other data points that serve as indicators.

Thank you

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the Innovation Graph currently produces the India figures and how geographic data is represented. The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point; before implementation, define which popularity indicators to expose and what completed project-level visibility should include.
