Why India, and Why Mumbai
Many people in India use crypto. The country ranked first in Chainalysis’ 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index. At the same time, it is more careful with rules than several other big countries.
Unchained Summit India will bring global views into this talk. It will look at how each market deals with rules, use and growth.
Interest in tokens and blockchain for business also keeps growing. The Reserve Bank of India has tested asset tokenisation in its CBDC sandbox. The National Blockchain Framework shows that government and business want to use blockchain too.
Mumbai is India’s financial capital. It is a natural place for traders, wealth managers and family offices to meet. Banks, fintechs and Web3 firms are there too. The city links India’s busy crypto market with its wider finance and tech world.
Sharath Kumar, Founder and CEO of Aeternum, the organiser of Unchained Summit, said:
“India has a unique mix of active digital asset participation, growing interest in tokenisation and blockchain, and one of the world’s strongest developer ecosystems. Unchained Summit India brings together the capital, policy and technology sides of that story, with global voices adding perspective to where the market goes next.”
That dual focus will shape the two days of Unchained Summit India.
Day One: Markets, Finance and Digital Assets
Day One will focus on Markets, Finance & Digital Assets. It brings together traders, investors, and wealth managers. Family offices, old-style finance firms and crypto firms will join too. Topics include:
- Regulation and policy
- Trading and markets
- Tokenisation and real-world assets
- Stablecoins and payments
- Wealth and portfolio management
- Capital markets
- Custody and liquidity
For S B Seker, Head of APAC at Binance, India matters for much more than the size of its market.
“India is a crown jewel for Binance in terms of impact, not just scale. With deep digital penetration and a young, tech-savvy population, it is a market unmatched globally for meaningful blockchain adoption and innovation.”
Next to the market talks is another major Indian strength: its tech talent.
India had 21.9 million developers on GitHub in 2025, making it the platform’s second-largest developer community globally. More than 5.2 million developers joined during the year.
Day Two: Web3, Infrastructure and Emerging Technology
Day Two will focus on Web3, Infrastructure & Emerging Technology. It is a tech programme for developers, founders and builders. Topics include:
- Blockchain infrastructure
- AI and Web3
- DeFi
- Scaling and interoperability
- Security and digital trust
- Staking
- Apps for the public and new tech
Ashish Singhal, Co-Founder of CoinSwitch, said:
“Web3 represents one of the most exciting opportunities to build the next generation of internet infrastructure, and India is one of the world’s largest hubs with talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and technical expertise to play a leading role in shaping the industry’s future.”
The tech itself will be another key part of the talks.
Uttam Singh from Alchemy said:
“We’re witnessing the financial system become programmable. The next wave of innovation will come from developers building onchain.”
