According to the recent Blockchain Report 2019 by National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), the Indian public sector has driven blockchain-based projects with nearly half the Indian states being involved. With this, we can settle for the fact that India is serious about blockchain.
Although India is just about jumping on the blockchain bandwagon, the nation is not far from fraying its way into the league of major countries that are leading blockchain adoption.
In a bid to bolster an enterprise-grade blockchain adoption roadmap for businesses and governments in India, the internationally-acclaimed global tech event series World Blockchain Summit – India 2019, with the support of the Maharashtra Government, will unite global experts from the blockchain space to share their deep experience and understanding of how a wide array of Indian sectors can benefit from the revolutionary technology.
