Staff Corner: Fostering innovation and impact in India

As we continue to expand the reach and impact of LF Decentralized Trust globally, we are thrilled to announce our active participation in LF India—a new Linux Foundation initiative that embodies the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and community that defines our open source community. India has become a global epicenter for digital transformation, with a thriving developer ecosystem, forward-thinking government initiatives, and a remarkable commitment to open source development.

Since its inception in 2018, LF Decentralized Trust’s India Regional Chapter (launched as Hyperledger India Regional Chapter) has been a trailblazer, setting benchmarks in community engagement and project contributions. Today, with over 15,000 active members across 12 vibrant meetup groups, this chapter not only supports the growth of local talent but also influences global initiatives. From hosting hackathons and mentorship programs to being the largest region for project mentorships, LF Decentralized Trust India Regional Chapter has consistently demonstrated its leadership in fostering blockchain and decentralized identity innovation.

The community's contributions to projects like the Reserve Bank of India’s Digital Rupee pilot using Hyperledger Fabric, the National Blockchain Framework, and DigiYatra’s digital travel credentials showcase the immense potential of decentralized technologies to transform industries like finance, public services, and supply chain. This work is anchored by LF Decentralized Trust members headquartered in India, including Ayanworks, Dhiway, DigiYatra, DocChain.io, IDS, Infosys, Kerala Blockchain Academy, KrypC, NPCI, Qila, Saintgits, TCS, Wipro, Zeeve and more.

Why India Matters for LF Decentralized Trust 

India is not just a participant in our mission—it is a driver of our success. With a rapidly growing Web3 ecosystem, a developer community on track to be the world's largest by 2028, and strong governmental support for blockchain and decentralized tech adoption, India is a vital partner in shaping the future of digital trust. The strategic collaborations forged here are laying the groundwork for scalable, inclusive, and impactful technologies that can be applied globally.

Looking Ahead

LF Decentralized Trust’s participation in LF India underscores our commitment to fostering local innovation with global impact. We are proud to continue to support and, through LF India, direct even more resources to the LF Decentralized Trust India Regional Chapter’s efforts to create a platform for collaboration, mentoring, and technical growth.
