      Rohas nagpal was the first person whom I met after I started blogging about blockchain, I met him 0ct Last year in CCD near Baner, Pune. He is one of the early stage adopter of blockchain in India, He has an amazing subject knowledge. We had a good time, He shared his views on blockchain future in india. Last week I approached rohas for an interview, which he politely accepted. Here we are with a great piece of conversation with Mr. Rohas Nagpal.

      Ms. Shinam Arora(L),Mr. Rohas Nagpal(C), Hitesh Malviya(R)

      (1) Hi, Thanks for taking the time out for our readers. To get right into it – how did you get into the blockchain?

      I’ve been working in the area of cyber crime investigation since the mid-1990s. In the past, I have investigated cyber crimes and data breaches for hundreds of organizations across dozens of sectors including aerospace, banking, defense, enforcement, IT, manufacturing, media, medical, pharmaceuticals, shipping and trading.

      I first came across bitcoin in 2011 while investigating a case involving organized criminals using the dark web and crypto-currency. I also handled several negotiations involving ransomware and bitcoin. My curiosity led me to research bitcoin’s underlying technology – blockchain.

      I strongly believe that blockchain technology will enable massive social upliftment and economic prosperity, the likes of which the world has never seen before.

      (2) What is blockchain in your own words?

      Simply put, a blockchain is a peer-to-peer network which timestamps records by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work.

      On the other hand, a distributed ledger is a peer-to-peer network, which uses a defined consensus mechanism to prevent modification of an ordered series of time-stamped records.

      All blockchains are distributed ledgers but all distributed ledgers are not blockchains. Blockchain technology has earned the trust and respect of banks and Governments around the world.

      Blockchain technology derives its strength from strong cryptography. Blockchains are provably immutable and enable the rapid transfer and exchange of crypto-tokens (which can represent assets) without the need for separate clearing, settlement and reconciliation.

      (3) Why Blockchain for banking industry?

      Blockchain technology enables banks to improve client satisfaction through faster, more convenient and secure services. It also helps banks to:
      •Increase profits and reduce costs.
      •Minimize fraud.
      •Maximize efficiency, security & transparency.
      •Accelerate information and money flows.
      •Greatly improve auditability.
      •Streamline paperwork.

      (4) Tell us more about primechain and bankchain?

      Blockchains will minimise fraud and maximise efficiency, security & transparency in supply chains, healthcare, global money systems, financial technologies, democratic elections, auction of public assets, energy trading, electronic record authentication, delivery of Government services, IoT and much much more….and Primechain Technologies will lead this global economic and social revolution.

      (9) As you come from cyber security background, throw us some light on blockchain and bitcoin related frauds?

      A lot of people don’t like it when I say this but I think bitcoin and most other crypto-currencies do not have any legitimate use. They are hugely beneficial for money-laundering, tax evasion and organized crime.

      (10) What is your advice for folks who are working on blockchain tech in India?

      I think serious blockchain startups should learn to separate hype from fact. Currently, there is too much hype around blockchain technology and its applications. I expect this hype cycle to crash in 2017.

      It is essential that blockchain startups consider building applications that have genuine benefits and offer strong and provable return on investment for enterprise clients.
