The government of the Telangana, a southern Indian state, has recently announced that it is partnering with a major IT firm to establish a district exclusive to blockchain startups in the state’s capital.

The Telangana State Information Technology, Electronics and Communication Department (ITE&C) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with multinational IT services giant Tech Mahindra to establish what is being billed as ‘India’s first Blockchain District’.

Financial news daily The Economic Times also reported:

Tech Mahindra as a founding member of the Blockchain district will provide platform and technology assistance to all the incubators in the Blockchain District.

Tech Mahindra will also empower accelerators to develop and solve market problems across its global customer ecosystem. Further, the Telangana ITE&C department will provide regulatory and policy support to enable and promote Blockchain growth both in India and globally.

The state’s IT minister KT Rama Rao was quoted as stating:

Telangana government is proud to pioneer the first of its kind Blockchain District in India. With support from Tech Mahindra, we envision to set a global benchmark in providing cutting-edge Blockchain technology solutions and platforms across industries.”

Notably, the state government has pledged to provide both regulatory and policy support for companies and startups in the sector to promote the integration of blockchain technology domestically and beyond.
