“The blockchain can enable consumers to own the value associated with their time spent digitally, thus, potentially unlocking brand new economic opportunities for themselves. It’s becoming clear that the next wave of wealth and value creation is expected to come from a financial world that is programmable. India could be at the centre of this next wave and boost its economy to strengthen its position on the world stage.
