Cryptocurrency has been one of the most hotly debated topics in recent  times. On this podcast we speak with Akshay BD (ex-Uber, Startup Advisor  & Investor) and Rameesh Kailasam (CEO - Indiatech.org, Policy  Expert & Columnist) on the nuances of how crypto will impact India,  specifically. Akshay begins the discussion by laying out the immense  possibilities crypto holds for India as an asset, currency, and  technology - from wealth creation to innovation and then Rameesh speaks  of the policymaker’s perspective and how crypto has to be positioned to  make it easier to understand and regulate. 

Along the way, we discuss the concept of a sovereign digital currency  and how that can be compatible with an unregulated currency like bitcoin, India-specific use cases for blockchain, the concept of  Decentralised Finance (DeFi) and how it can potentially disrupt  financial services and credit access in India. We end the podcast with a  discussion on the road ahead for India and how Indians can participate  in crypto and gain from it. This is a fascinating conversation about an  important innovation that is sure to set you off on a rabbit hole quest  to learn and understand better.
