Conclusion

🔗 Revolutionizing Finance with Blockchain in India 🇮🇳 India’s financial sector is entering a new era with the rise of blockchain technology! From faster transactions and fraud prevention to transparent record-keeping and smart contracts, blockchain is transforming how money moves.

✨ Discover how banks like SBI, HDFC, and ICICI are embracing this tech shift, and how government pilot projects are setting new digital standards. 📚 Read the full blog now to explore case studies, benefits, challenges, and what the future holds for finance in India.

Blockchain is one of the hottest technologies of this century. From revolutionary uses in the healthcare and finance sectors to niche applications in legal tech, retail and real estate, India is now on its way to becoming one of the biggest blockchain markets in the world. The upward trajectory of this sector can be demonstrated with numbers — Blockchain spend in India has increased at 103.4% during 2018 to reach $154.8 million. Over the forecast period (2019-2025), spend on blockchain is expected to record a CAGR of 47.3%, increasing from $289 million in 2019 to reach $4,348.3 million by 2025. Many companies like Facebook are already implementing blockchain to safeguard the way their users exchange money. Recently, Sanjay Dhotre, Minister of State for Electronics and IT had said earlier this year, “Blockchain technology in India is one of the important research areas having application potential in different domains such as governance, banking and finance, cybersecurity and so on.”

Blockchain Sector Has A Very Prominent Talent Gap In India

From private multinational companies to Central as well as State governments in India, the adoption and implementation of blockchain technology is gaining pace in the country. Earlier this month, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad inaugurated a new Centre of Excellence in Blockchain Technology in Bengaluru. It will facilitate various government departments in their blockchain work, leading to large scale deployment of blockchain applications. But the key question is — with the public and private sector jumping on the blockchain train, is there enough talent to fill this gap? Industry insiders suggest that it is slightly easier to get developers to build applications, but getting persons who have token programming, cryptography and full-stack development knowledge to build applications from scratch is a challenge. In fact, one of the band-aid methods of approaching this problem in India is working with freelancers from Russia and China.

No More Quick-Fix Solutions

Blockchain is now being adopted exponentially across Indian enterprises, irrespective of the size or scale of operation. The demand for blockchain developers was initially hindered by a lack of understanding about the technology and minimal available resources for professionals -- particularly developers -- to learn more about it. However, this scenario is now changing in India with the help of programs and courses which are helping professionals upskill themselves. One of the critically-acclaimed programs in India is by IIIT Hyderabad Blockchain Center of Excellence and TalentSprint which offer the Advanced Certificate Program in Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies. This 18-week program brings participants a hands-on learning experience through IIIT Hyderabad campus visits, weekly live online interactive sessions, hackathons, capstone projects, mentors and an exceptional peer group. With a spotlight on a practitioner-focused syllabus, this program makes sure that the participant masters blockchain beyond cryptocurrency.
