Blockchain technology is commonly associated with cryptocurrencies, but its use of blockchain is much broader than digital currencies. In India, where the digital economy is expanding at a fast pace, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is proving to be a game-changer across many sectors. From making government operations more effective to enhancing financial inclusion, blockchain will transform the way data is stored, data is shared, and data is secured. As India moves towards a digitally empowered country, it is important to be aware of the role of blockchain as well as cryptocurrencies.
