The third edition of the highly anticipated India Blockchain Tour (IBT) has officially kicked off in Delhi, marking the beginning of a monumental event that promises to foster community engagement across the country. Backed by prominent industry players such as KuCoin, Interakt, and Binamite, this year’s tour is set to be a game-changer in the blockchain space.
Starting in Delhi, the tour will make its way through major cities including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata from July 13 to August 31, 2024. With a focus on igniting conversations around Web3, blockchain technology, and the future of money, the event aims to draw in developers, industry leaders, and blockchain enthusiasts from all corners of India.
Octaloop’s IBT is more than just a series of conferences; it’s a movement designed to explore the burgeoning potential of blockchain technology in India. With a community of over 400,000 members, the tour has become a hub for networking and knowledge-sharing, attracting key figures in the industry such as Om Malviya, Raj Kapoor, Aishwary Gupta, and Alvin Hu.
This year’s lineup of speakers is equally impressive, featuring luminaries like Devika Mittal, Hrishikesh Nashikkar, and Hema Dubey, who are expected to provide insights into the latest developments and future directions in the blockchain space.
Founder of Octaloop, Anupam Varshney, emphasized the importance of community in Web3 projects, highlighting the decentralized nature of the technology. Reflecting on the journey from the first event in Delhi in 2016 to the expansive tour planned for 2024, Varshney noted the overwhelming response and the role of local communities in shaping the Web3 landscape.
The significance of the event is further underscored by a recent report by KuCoin, which revealed that over 115 million Indians have invested in cryptocurrencies, with investments projected to surpass $241 million by 2030. This highlights the critical need to build awareness and promote decentralized networks, a core focus of the IBT.
As India’s leading Web3 consulting and marketing firm, Octaloop has been instrumental in catalyzing the blockchain movement in the country. The India Blockchain Tour 2024 will showcase India’s growing influence in the global blockchain landscape and provide valuable insights and strategies for navigating this dynamic industry.
