In our effort to develop and nurture an ecosystem for emerging technologies, on February 22nd 2018, NASSCOM signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Blockchain Research Institute (BRI), to catalyse Blockchain capabilities in India. As per Thinkers50 2017, Don Tapscott, the founder of BRI is ranked as the #2 Most Influential Thinker in the world.

There is no doubt that Blockchain technology will become ubiquitous in the next few years. Blockchain will revolutionize the way we will do business, and will cut across all sectors and functions. BRI conducts cutting-edge research on the impact of Blockchain on Businesses, Governments, and Society. This research is conducted by 40 of the world’s top Blockchain thinkers and practitioners.

Do connect us with the right person in your organisation who leads the Blockchain practice. By the way of our MOU, NASSCOM has secured access to some of their research pieces. The following case studies and research papers are available for our members to begin with:

  1. FOOD TRACEABILITY ON BLOCKCHAIN: This lighthouse case study explains how Walmart implemented a Blockchain solution for Food Provenance in two pilot projects. This was useful in the event of a health issue, it increased supply chain visibility improving profitability. Walmart’s experience shows how Blockchain technology can increase the accuracy, utility, and timeliness of data.
  2. ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND BLOCKCHAIN: This case study illuminates how the combination of Blockchain and additive manufacturing increases precision, and reduces the costs of maintenance, inventory, and shipping. It also illustrates how Blockchain technology helps to ensure security, encourage innovation, preserve intellectual property rights, and enhance supply chain visibility within a high-stakes/low-margin industry.
  3. THE TOKEN ECONOMY: When Money Becomes Programmable– This piece is authored by Michael Casey who co-wrote ‘The Age of Cryptocurrency’.
  4. BLOCKCHAIN AND THE CMO: The Next Era of Marketing

We are also planning to conduct a webinar in collaboration with BRI research head in May. This will particularly benefit your organisation as we will have an expert talk about some path breaking case studies from around the global. There is also an opportunity for you to become a member of BRI where you will get number of benefits.

For more information and details on the webinar, BRI or research papers, please write to priya@nasscom.in. We look forward to hearing from you and working actively with your organisation to make this initiative a success.
