Giant Revolution: Blockchain & India: 4 Must Known Facts!!

As we all know that Blockchain technology is rapidly gaining massive adoption across the globe but through this blog, would like to mention key points about Blockchain in India - its adoption and coder's statistics.
There is an intense (over a period of 6 months) research conducted by a Blockchain community "Incrypt" on how the current regulatory climate is affecting core development activity and Blockchain entrepreneurship in india. Here are a quick facts which came up through that:

Causing India to lose out on jobs:

Currently in India, out of 2 million software developers in India, meager 0.25% (5000 only) have the right Blockchain skills and they are also being forced to move to other countries (Singapore, Estonia, Dubai, Switzerland etc.) in search for the better opportunity which will further downside the IT sector as slow and steadily, the grip has been loosen up. Retaining talent is better compare to hiring talent but if the Indian government will not take immediate action (like regulation, banking support etc.) then it would be pretty tough to sustain a few Blockchain developers as almost 80% of software developers are forced to move out.

Setting up Regulations:

The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) on April 6, 2018 instructed banks to stop offering services to exchanges and crypto related businesses in India, this has created a major impact on entrepreneurs, software developers, traders and exchanges in India. Not only software developers, also exchanges are planning to shift their base overseas, that's why, unless and until, India won't move fast in setting up appropriate regulations to manage risks and attract global investments in Blockchain, it will affect the economy also at the certain extent. Even after setting up a comity "Niti Aayog" but still it's not helping the cause.

Freelance opportunity are spreading their wings:

  • World's largest job posting website "Upwork", recorded a steady growth of over 2000% in Blockchain.
  • Approx. 14 job openings for 1 developer.
  • 75% blockchain coders believes that open Blockchain projects are required to solve India's problems.
  • 88% believes that India should take a step in regulating utility, payment and security tokens.

Legalized solution to receive tokens:

All open source projects (Ethereum, Neo, Stellar etc) and thousands of other ICO (Initial Coin offerings) need technical marketing or advisory talent and many of these are tokenbased incentives which means, to work on these projects, developers get paid in cryptocurrencies.
The overall gist of the report is: The coders aren't finding any ways to convert it in INR, and afterwards they felt, it's worthless in India, whether the government will consider their non-compliant work in any or the other way.
  • As per you folks, what are the solutions to cut down the job losses?
  • What future are you seeing of Blockchain in India?
Please do let know your comments.

Second Step of Confidence: Using Effective communication

Till this point, i hope you are pretty clear about how to overcome self-doubt and convert it into an opportunity to grab attention. But, there are some scenarios where-in there are some aggressive colleagues, which will always makes your job more tougher & even very difficult to grab that chance to present. Let's understand this by a practical scenario which i've faced during my job: While in the beginning of my career after MBA from where i acquired several skill-set including effective presentation, efficient communication, team building skills & many more because in today's corporate world, you can't trust anybody easily, one needs time and persistence. So, ultimately it becomes extremely tough to get the work done or even putting your point forward to grab attention. In my case, it was my immediate senior who was having a pleasant personality but if you are working under him, believe me, he won't let you speak at any instant. He, by his nature; ver
