While the initial taker for this technology was Financial Services, other sectors are fast adopting Blockchain. This is mainly on account of the promise it provides in terms of improving trust and reducing time on transactions. Also the potential that Blockchain provides for disintermediation remains a huge attraction.
Hence it is no surprise that the Public Sector, specifically Government has shown an interest in adopting Blockchain. The fact that there are so many registries, registrars, inspectors, license and permit givers, authenticators and auditors across the business of government points to the value and disruption that Blockchain can bring in.

Why this is India’s big data election

Edition- Online
Date- 16 April, 2019
You may struggle to read your neta’s mind but the neta has a lot of help reading yours. This election season, you may have noticed a trend in the kind of political videos popping up on your feeds. And posts related to polls you haven’t participated in but are there for your reading anyway. You might have also noticed ads from election candidates in your vicinity. And when you want to find out what’s trending? There’s a pattern there too, right? While reading about elections in newspapers, you may have come across a story about the explosion of ‘Gully Boy’ rappers with their politics-themed numbers on Kolkata’s hip-hop scene.
What you wouldn’t have known is that West Bengal is among the largest consumers of political videos in the country. It shows how one trend begets another — in this case, a certain kind of online behaviour creates a demand, and as more videos are produced because of that demand, it drives up the trend line of the behaviour itself. And the politician who has access to this data would know that while the best way to a Bengali’s heart may be through food, the best way to her or his brain is through videos.

IMF, World Bank Launch Private Cryptocurrency to Study Blockchain and Its Applications
Publication- Indian Web2
Edition- Online
Date- 16 April, 2019
Two economic powerhouses of the world — the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank — have reportedly launched a private cryptocurrency to study blockchain technologies and their real-world applications, said a recent report by Financial Times. Called as “Learning Coin”, the new and private quasi-cryptocurrency project is for their staffs to understand how these popular digital assets works. The staff at the two agencies are now studying the goods and bads of digital distributed ledger technologies, such as smart contracts, transparency as well as money laundering.
With this, IMF and World Bank wants to explore “use-cases” of crypto asset powered by blockchain with aim of restricting distributed digital assets and centralize blockchain. According to IMF, this new project will help people such as policymakers, legislators and economist to become abreast with the technology. “The development of crypto-assets and distributed ledger technology is evolving rapidly, as is the amount of information (both neutral and vested) surrounding it. This is forcing central banks, regulators and financial institutions to recognize a growing knowledge gap between the legislators, policymakers, economists and the technology,” said IMF in a statement.
