In my opinion, this is unethical. If I spend a few hours developing software for a client, I would earn about between $30 to $200 depending on where I am. It is unreasonable to expect me to spend that time developing a purposeless toy software without being paid and lose my roughly $100 of income. I don't know much about Surya Software Systems but if you look at their organization page, there are exactly two repos: The Interview repo of this post link and SwiftUtils which they don't seem to have any intention of maintaining. It is ironical that they have not contributed anything to the open source community despite owning a GitHub account but are gratuitously demanding a software project to be developed for them even before you could apply for a job there. No, thanks! There are plenty of companies out there that are more respectful to their employees.
