The Core, a prominent Indian digital business journalism platform, has announced a strategic partnership with the Algorand Foundation, a leading name in blockchain innovation. This collaboration is set to expand the platform’s coverage of the Web3 landscape through a dedicated content series spanning podcasts, newsletters, and video-based formats. The announcement closely follows a key milestone for The Core — the completion of 500 episodes of its flagship daily podcast, The Core Report.
Founded by MIT professor and Turing Award recipient Silvio Micali, Algorand has emerged as a significant player in the blockchain domain. The platform is known for its quantum-secure, energy-efficient, single-layer blockchain, which supports instant finality, high throughput, and low transaction costs. Since its inception in 2019, Algorand has found applications across sectors such as finance, supply chain logistics, and digital identity, earning recognition for enabling fast, secure, and sustainable blockchain-based solutions. The project continues to attract developers and enterprises worldwide, pushing for mainstream adoption of decentralized technologies.
The joint initiative between The Core and Algorand Foundation seeks to explore how blockchain technology is being used to resolve complex business problems that traditional Web2 infrastructure often struggles to address. Areas of focus will include cross-border remittances, digital identity verification, and the tracking of product provenance. The series aims to bridge the knowledge gap by examining the tangible benefits of blockchain adoption and offering real-world case studies.
A key component of the partnership is the launch of a podcast titled Build on Blockchain, which will air weekly episodes spotlighting developers, product builders, and entrepreneurs working on blockchain-based solutions. The series will also delve into Algorand Foundation’s educational outreach, particularly its efforts in India. These include the formation of over 50 university blockchain clubs and the rollout of developer-focused training programs in partnership with NASSCOM. Through these initiatives, the Foundation hopes to equip the next generation of Indian technologists with relevant blockchain expertise, further promoting innovation and financial inclusion.
In unveiling the partnership, senior leadership at Algorand Foundation emphasized the organization’s belief in blockchain’s capacity to fuel innovation and broaden access to financial tools. They conveyed that the collaboration with The Core is expected to elevate conversations around blockchain adoption, with a special focus on thought leaders and developers from India and abroad who are pushing the boundaries of Web3 integration across industries.
The Core’s founder and editor expressed that the partnership with Algorand presents an opportunity to engage directly with frontier technologies while offering timely insights to its core audience of decision-makers, professionals, and industry influencers. He emphasized that the content series will enable a deeper understanding of blockchain’s transformative potential in sectors critical to India’s economy.
This new partnership builds upon The Core’s previous engagement with the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), which culminated in a content series titled NASSCOM Conversations. Through that initiative, The Core explored themes at the intersection of technology and business via podcast interviews with key industry players.
The Core Report, since its debut, has earned a strong following among CXOs, policymakers, and business professionals for its incisive analysis of India’s economic and regulatory landscape. The show frequently features distinguished guests such as Indian Oil Chairman A S Sahney, Infosys Cofounder Nandan Nilekani, NASSCOM President Rajesh Nambiar, Marico MD & CEO Saugata Gupta, and Mobius Capital Partners Founder Mark Mobius, among others.
As it embarks on this new chapter with Algorand Foundation, The Core aims to deepen its focus on emerging technologies while remaining a trusted source of business insight for India’s influential stakeholders. The upcoming content series is expected to serve as a valuable resource for those keen to understand blockchain’s growing relevance in both local and global contexts.
