Blockchain a technology I believe in: Ambani

“India has Aadhaar, Jan Dhan Accounts, and our UPI interface. We are on the verge of introducing a data privacy Bill, which I look forward to, and also the cryptocurrency Bill. So, I think we are on the right track, and what impresses me the most is that as a society we are most proactive, open and vibrant,” he said.

“As I see, real-time technologies are there. It is great that we have moved from T+7 to T+2 and T+1, but I am big believer in real-time. So, everything will settle in real-time,” the RIL Chairman said.

“I think smart token is making sure that you are creating transactions that can never be changed,” he said. The convergence of real-time, convergence of distributed ledger and blockchain technologies, smart tokens, convergence of physical and digital through IoT will enable and redefine the decentralised financial sector in a way never imagined, he added.

“It is happening in the coming 10 years, and again this will be a prerequisite to a great economic growth. Today there is more money chasing people and we are short of ideas,” Ambani said. “We are on the verge of introducing a data privacy bill, which I look forward to, and also the crypto currency bill…,” he said.
