BlockChain Center New Delhi

Educate, Enable & Empower

The Blockchain community in India is new and evolving and needs a focal point in the Delhi NCR region. With this in mind, our overall approach can be summarised as resting on the three pillars- Educate, Enable, Empower

Educate is focussed on delivering blockchain courses and research that meets global standards. We are working with Universities and education providers to roll out relevant blockchain courses for India.

Enable is focussed on meet up, events, workshops and bringing thought leaders in front of the local blockchain community. Being a part of the larger blockchain centre ecosystem helps us to link the community here with the best in class thinking and use cases being developed across the world and in India.

Empower is about corporate partnerships, connect with global blockchain community and funding for local blockchain start-ups in India. Our internal projects will work towards driving the agenda for blockchain adoption in India beyond the crypto currency space. For this, we will work with entrepreneurs and industry leaders to establish robust blockchain use cases in the Indian context. The industry partnerships that we bring for the blockchain community will be the other plus point.
