Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) has launched Apiary, a Centre of Entrepreneurship (CoE) in blockchain technologies at STPI incubation center in Gurugram in association with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), government of Haryana, Government Blockchain Association and several blue-chip companies and top-tier academic institutions.
STPI Apiary is expected to revolutionize the blockchain incubation ecosystem by fostering R&D innovation and entrepreneurship while nurturing start-ups to build indigenous products. The most significant feature of blockchain is that it dramatically reduces the possibilities of a data breach. With all the fraud-resistant features, blockchain technology holds the potential to revolutionize various business sectors and make processes more intelligent, secure, transparent, and more efficient compared to traditional business processes.
While launching the CoE, Ajay Prakash Sawhney, Secretary, MeitY, said, "Apiary is taking shape by bringing together all stakeholders. We can put India stack in blockchain. Let's seek those use cases where we can provide the solutions. 2020 is the time to become ambitious; it's time for us to change. We have 35 unicorns – more than Europe has. India has become a factory for unicorns and soonicorns.”
Jyoti Arora, Special Secretary and Financial Adviser, MeitY, pointed out that the government has a lot of expectations from this CoE. "We have to bring the young people to the fore and empower them to create path-breaking solutions in blockchain,” she added.
Expressing his thoughts over the launch of STPI Apiary, Dr Omkar Rai, Director General, STPI, said, "The kind of leadership we have for Apiary can help us to achieve the mandate of this CoE and succeed by translating the ideas of start-ups into world-class blockchain products. Our programmes will disperse the tech start-up ecosystem to Tier II/III cities, and we are trying to reach the unreached and facilitating support for democratising product innovation."
