Disruption in Financial Services, Mumbai, 3 - 4 April 2018
TGV Disruption in Financial Services – Mumbai, 3rd - 4th April
True Global Ventures has held 24 highly praised Disruption in Financial Services events in New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mumbai, Stockholm, London, Paris and Berlin. We are stringing together FinTech trends and what Financial Institutions in the future might look like. We showcase growth stage FinTech startups, identify future Blockchain and trends and help bring the industry together.
We do not allow this to become a PR & Marketing event, media and journalists are not allowed and Chatham rules apply. We are aggressively challenging the ongoing hype around blockchain. We dig into real user cases of Blockchain applications to solve real problems and define what should go into production or blockchain technology.
Look forward to an engaging discussion with top industry leaders (corporates, investors, entrepreneurs) in FinTech!

Bountysource is a platform for anyone to post bounties on issues for open-source projects, and for developers to solve and earn money.

20:25 – 20:55 How Decentralization and Blockchain Are Shaping the New Internet
* Neeraj Murarka, CTO, Bluzelle (Singapore)
Bluzelle provides an on-demand, decentralized database network that gives applications better performance, greater reliability and massive scalability. To ensure developers get the highest throughout in performance, reliability and scalability, Bluzelle implements swarming technologies. A swarm is a large group of nodes (computers) that work together to store and manage data. Nodes in these swarms can go down and new nodes can come up with minimal impact on the network. Overall Bluzelle is a meta-swarm comprised of multiple swarms. Bluzelle has worked with AIA, Maybank, Temenos, BT, KPMG and more.
Bluzelle’s founders (Pavel Bains and Neeraj Murarka) are of Indian origin who’s parents immigrated to Canada. Bluzelle now has offices in Singapore and Vancouver and successfully completed a $19.5M ICO in January.
Some key highlights:
Named a technology pioneer by the World Economic Forum
Named a top blockchain vendor by Forrester
Partnerships with JD.com, British Telecom and top blockchain companies Zilliqa, 0x, Bee Token and more.
20:55 – 21:10 Networking and Refreshment
21:10 - 21:40 Opensource projects
* Ish Goel, Founder, GovBlocks (Mumbai)
GovBlocks is an open, permission-less protocol for decentralized governance.
We believe that for Blockchain networks to survive over a long enough time frame, they need to adapt to complex environment changes - the ones that cannot be foreseen in the initial design. Our mission is to empower such blockchain networks with community governed mechanisms of change.
