The two-day event brought together influential figures from business, government, NGOs, and developers to explore the potential of blockchain in addressing global challenges.
Empowering Web3.0 Startups with T-Hub Partnership

The partnership underscores AlgoBharat’s commitment to nurturing innovation and fostering growth within the Indian startup landscape.
Skill Development for Web3.0 Professionals through NASSCOM Partnership
Furthering its commitment to education and skill development, AlgoBharat announced a partnership with NASSCOM, leveraging its FutureSkills Prime skilling hub. This collaboration focuses on delivering modular-based training content and assessments, supporting students and professionals in enhancing their Web3.0 developer capabilities.

Fostering the Web3.0 Ecosystem in Bangalore with TiE Partnership
In a strategic move aimed at strengthening its presence in Bangalore, AlgoBharat has partnered with TiE Bangalore. This collaboration aims to foster the Indian Web3.0 ecosystem through educational and training initiatives. The partnership is expected to play a pivotal role in establishing Algorand’s influence within the startup, investor, and tech communities in the vibrant tech hub of Bangalore.
Blockchain-Based Solutions for Social Impact
During the event, AlgoBharat joined forces with Mann Deshi to address challenges faced by women entrepreneurs. The collaboration focuses on developing a blockchain-based credit score card and identity system for Mann Deshi Foundation’s women entrepreneurs.

Additionally, AlgoBharat’s partnership with the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) is set to launch a groundbreaking pilot program. This initiative aims to empower women by enabling them to earn high-value carbon credits through a blockchain-based solution that captures data on renewable gas production from biogas digesters.
