About the Event
Blockchain – the much talked about shared ledger technology will have a transformative impact on a number of industries, including financial services, in the future. In fact one of the most talked-about topics in the financial services industry worldwide today is the ‘B-word’.
Blockchain is set to transform the financial services industry by making transactions faster, cheaper, more secure and transparent. Essentially, the lure of blockchain is its method of verifying and tracking transactions. Rather than being stored in a single database, blocks of time-stamped transactions are stored on all systems across a value chain and relies on consensus among a peer-to-peer network of computers based on complex algorithms Instead of a trusted central authority or third-party.
BW Buisnessworld in association with Wipro is proud to announce the Roundtable on Blockchain Technology in banking which will deliberate the leaders of the fraternity to understand, adopt, and implement Blockchain, this Round Table will help decode the technology, its implications, benefits and challenges as well as lay down a roadmap to commercialising Blockchain based banking solutions in the country.
