india gang โ more awesome ideas to build this hackathon season from the ๐
Since this is superteam India - here's 10 things I wish we saw from the blockchain ecosystem in India - some harder, than others to solve
1. Banking app for Indian NRI diaspora - I know it sounds like the most generic thing but do you realise how big the TAM is?
2. A marketplace for tokenised instruments coming out of India - mostly debt instruments from gift city.
3. Healthcare record digitisation (needs legislative help)
4. Carbon credit market (needs chutzpah and a lot of dollars - but worth it)
5. Supply chain verification for geo-specific, luxury products (again, hard product - but large TAM)
6. Private credit pools for fintech startups (running on-chain, with zk for verification)
7. An edtech lending marketplace working on income share agreements for students
8. Cross-country credit for NRIs moving outward (basically credit score portability)
9. Land/Title deed verification stack (dont tokenise it, just let me verify things)
10. Same stack - for automobile verification and underwriting.
There is this idea that everything needs to be a market and speculatory. India is the opposite - it needs you to aggregate, verify and integrate with capital markets. Ideally $ flow requires capital market partners and does not use the balance sheet of the startup, but solving the aggregation side of all problems mentioned above is hard work. Which is why nobody within crypto tackles them. That is also why there is opportunity there.
If you build any of these - I'd be happy to brainstorm and help see things through zero to one. I might know a thing or two. I have been steadily rebuilding a portfolio of firms working on hard financial problems - far away from CT.
Strong preference for fintech operators / folks that have seen systems to scale within the region
