GBA Expanding Strategic Relationship with Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology

The Government Blockchain Association (GBA) is in discussions with the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) Apiary to collaborate on advancing blockchain maturity and innovation across India. This partnership is poised to bring significant value to blockchain startups, professionals, and government organizations by leveraging the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) to ensure the development of credible, secure, and globally recognized blockchain solutions.

STPI, a pivotal organization under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, has been a cornerstone of India’s IT revolution. For decades, STPI has driven the growth of the IT, IT-enabled services (ITeS), and electronics sectors, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship while contributing to India’s global leadership in software exports. Through its Blockchain CoE (Centre of Entrepreneurship) Apiary, STPI champions emerging technologies, providing startups with essential resources such as mentorship, market access, funding opportunities, and a robust ecosystem to turn ideas into impactful solutions.

This collaboration aligns STPI’s expertise and reach with GBA’s mission of promoting blockchain adoption and standards worldwide. By implementing the BMM, STPI Apiary and GBA will guide Indian startups through a rigorous framework to improve their solutions, helping them earn global trust and credibility. Achieving BMM ratings will enable these companies to gain international visibility and recognition through directories endorsed by the United Nations Internet Governance Forum Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Assurance & Standardization.

The significance of this partnership extends far beyond individual startups. For GBA members, it strengthens international partnerships and showcases reliable blockchain solutions. For Indian government entities, it accelerates the adoption of blockchain technology, bolsters economic growth, and contributes to the success of flagship programs such as “Make-in-India” and “Digital India.” For software companies and professionals, it provides access to structured frameworks, global markets, and opportunities to lead in a rapidly evolving industry.

Together, STPI and GBA are laying the groundwork for a sustainable and innovative blockchain ecosystem in India and beyond. This collaboration marks a major step in creating trusted solutions, driving digital transformation, and positioning Indian blockchain startups on the global stage.
