I will speak about my experience with enterprise blockchain. In the talk, I’ll share 3 real life cases of how enterprise blockchain was implemented or is being implemented at a Bank, Govt and Manufacturer. The cases will have a blend of different platforms leading to a discussion on how we save cost, improve cycle time, ensure compliance and scale the system. I’ll then like to interact with the audience on challenges we faced – blockchain and non – blockchain. End with our view on future of enterprise blockchain.

When everybody is busy talking about the distributed ledger technology, and trading cryptocurrency, it is wise to look at cryptos from the multi-disciplinary lens of human evolution. Contrary to jumping on the Paul Krugman bandwagon and arriving at “Bitcoin is Evil”. We will reason from first principle and the talk will leave you with smart questions(like : Is Programmable money enough? What will lead Cryptos to their Netscape moment?) so that you can reason and leave with a better perspective.

Yes, financial institutes across the world (in India as well, leading private sector banks such as Axis bank, Yes bank & ICICI Bank have already begun using block chain solutions for their operations like Cross-border payments,..etc) have rolled lot of apps on this revolutionary technology. But, that is just the beginning. Blockchain’s key features such as shared ledger, immutability, timestamped audit trails and cryptographically secured transactions offers many opportunities that can be broadly classified into two buckets – creating efficiencies via streamlining existing processes by sharing information that currently sits in silo and building new products / services using the power of technology and remove intermediation. Blockchain could also transform many other industries including “HealthCare” & “Food Safety”. As we speak, Walmart, Kroger and others are looking to blockchain to help prevent the 48M annual food-borne illnesses in the US! Because, food businesses and logistics companies may be able to save time and money by simplifying supply chain record-keeping, while also improving the quality of those records. They may also be in a position to attract consumers by emphasizing transparency and to strengthen relationships between food suppliers and food sellers across the globe. In this talk, I shall cover the strategic thought process that you should come up with in order to successfully build or launch a disruptive software product on BlockChain.

We grew up hearing the scary stories where someone completely healthy was suddenly diagnosed with liver issues, someone lost their eyesight, someone lost their loved ones - due to fake medicines. And, it is disheartening to see that it is still continuing. Today, nearly 40% medicines in Indian market are fake. In spite of various efforts from government, containing this menace has been a challenge. But, with Blockchain technology available to us, the time has come that the fake medicine menace can be stopped. In this session we will talk about how big this problem is and how do we employ Blockchain technology to go beyond mere agreements and policies and truly enforce the checks to help establish the validity of a medicine - thus saving lives and providing multi-faceted benefits to all the supply-chain stakeholders.

Supply Chain involves management of resources digital, physical and human across an organization. At a global scale, organizations are optimizing their operations to maximize both speed and efficiency of deploying their resources to be able to provide fast/reliable services to customers and maximize efficiency. However, due to the complexity of business models involving multiple stakeholders, organizations often face issues such as trust, visibility, traceability etc. IT people takes a holistic view of these issues in SCM and has built Blockchain solutions to help our clients overcome these challenges. These solutions have greatly benefited the customers in better resource allocation, demand forecasting, time to market, reduction in wastes and 360 view of the supply chain. Our talk will encompass aspects of building such business networks with multiple partners like Consumers, Customers, Vendors, Manufacturers and Suppliers. It would also touch on aspects of complexities involved in modeling these networks around organizational needs like confidentiality, scalability, heterogeneity, auditability and compliance aspects. We would like to share our experiences of building solutions through a collaborative & design thinking approach which led to better outcomes and alignment across all business stakeholders.
