Binance has expanded its multi-city Blockchain Yatra to Bengaluru, the fifth stop in the Web3 education tour across India.
The Bengaluru edition coincided with India Blockchain Week 2025, creating a week of community engagement spanning developers, founders, and students.
Binance engaged with India’s Web3 community through talks, panels, and in-person sessions focused on responsible blockchain innovation.
We have expanded our multi-city Blockchain Yatra to Bengaluru, marking the fifth stop in Binance’s nationwide Web3 education tour. The Bengaluru edition coincided with India Blockchain Week (IBW) 2025, bringing together the Web3 community for one of the country’s largest industry gatherings.
India is home to more than 1,200 Web3 startups and nearly 12% of the global blockchain developer pool. The state of Karnataka, anchored by Bengaluru, accounts for roughly one-third of the country’s Web3 ecosystem – supported by 18,000 startups and a dense concentration of engineering and product talent. The recently approved Karnataka Startup Policy 2025-2030, with a ₹518 crore (approximately 62 million USD) allocation to foster 25,000 deep-tech startups, adds further momentum to the region’s innovation ecosystem.
During India Blockchain Week (IBW) 2025, Binance representatives participated in keynotes, panels, and community engagements with developers, founders, and students, focusing on responsible blockchain innovation and practical adoption across the region.
SB Seker, Head of APAC at Binance, used his keynote to frame the region’s shift toward infrastructure-led adoption and explained why India stands out as a builder market. He noted that “Across APAC, we are moving beyond speculation toward real, regulated infrastructure,” pointing to governments implementing guardrails, institutions tokenizing real-world assets, and stablecoins being developed within regulatory frameworks.
Looking at India specifically, Seker highlighted the country’s deep talent pool, strong digital foundation, and emerging on-chain tokenization initiatives in sovereign and commercial applications as key advantages. “If regulation and innovation align, India could lead not only in building but also in defining responsible blockchain adoption.” He added that Binance’s role is “to support that journey through education, technology, and governance.”
Seker also joined the IBW panel titled The Role of Crypto Platforms in Empowering Local Innovation where he discussed developer-led innovation, tokenization opportunities, and the shift toward regulated, infrastructure-driven adoption across APAC. He also highlighted Binance’s focus on education, talent enablement, and real-world blockchain applications across India.
The Bengaluru edition of Blockchain Yatra brought together students, developers, founders, and Web3 enthusiasts. The event built on the success of previous stops in Visakhapatnam, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Mumbai, with a continued focus on direct engagement with builders and students.
Reflecting on why Bengaluru was selected for this leg of the tour, Seker explained: “Bengaluru’s vibrant developer ecosystem and entrepreneurial spirit make it an ideal venue for the Blockchain Yatra. Aligning the event with India Blockchain Week enables us to connect deeply with the community at a pivotal industry gathering, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing India’s Web3 ecosystem through education and collaboration.”
The Bengaluru edition of Binance Blockchain Yatra brought together students, developers, founders, and Web3 enthusiasts for in-depth conversations about building in Web3. As we continue our tour across India, our focus remains the same: practical education, direct connection, and clearer pathways for the next wave of talent to learn, grow, and contribute to the blockchain ecosystem.
