“India has a large and talented developer population, and interest in Web3 is developing quickly nationwide. I’m thrilled to oversee the Algorand Foundation’s outreach and developer education programmes, according to Kakani. “My dream is for Algorand’s best-in-class technology to be built upon by thousands of students across university campuses, who will then develop products and services that will change the world. India is well-positioned to take the lead in the development of Web3 in this way.

Many people in traditional banking and the Indian IT sector already know Kakani.
