Octaloop Is Bringing the India Blockchain Tour to Delhi

The India Blockchain Tour is back once again

this year for its country-wide cruise to meet the nation’s blockchain communities. 

Hosted by Octaloop and powered by NEAR Foundation, the India Blockchain Tour is a collaborative effort to catalyze the blockchain industry’s growth in India, spread awareness on decentralized payment infrastructure, and encourage adoption of blockchain across the country.

IBT is happening across six of India's biggest Web3 hubs, featuring hands-on workshops, hackathons, panel discussions, and keynote speeches from influential industry leaders, among other fun activities.

The India Blockchain Tour lands in Delhi on May 27th at Downtown Diner & Fresh Beer between 1:30-5:30 pm. Join hundreds of investors, enthusiasts, developers, and entrepreneurs to discuss the latest trends and opportunities in the blockchain space.

Key Benefits for Attendees:

IBT is more than an evening of networking. India has a huge but fragmented crypto community, and the goal of the India Blockchain Tour is to facilitate connections between these siloed groups. Blockchain has massive potential in India, but regulatory uncertainty and community fragmentation are hindering innovation in the country.

Apart from connecting with some of the industry’s most influential names and networking with others in the community, attendees will also have access to veteran-led workshops along with other fun activities covering topics like DeFi, NFTs, and P2E gaming, to name just a few.

"India doesn’t have one big blockchain community. It’s hundreds, if not thousands of smaller communities scattered across the country," said Anupam Varshney, CEO of Octaloop. "We want to connect these fragmented communities, driving more investments to India’s Web3 industry, and pushing regulators to create fair frameworks to incentivize India’s talent."
