Bitcoin policy
Demystifying Bitcoin for India — and helping shape the policy conversation around it.
A 220-minute explainer
What began as a single session — explaining Bitcoin from first principles to 30-odd IIM Ahmedabad batchmates — ran to 220 minutes because the questions would not stop. It became clear the appetite to understand was far bigger than one classroom.
“Crypto in India” — a 7-part webinar series
Hosted for the IIM Ahmedabad Public Policy Alumni Special Interest Group: seven conversations with voices from law, finance, public policy, crypto, deep tech, and the World Bank — published openly on YouTube.
A briefing to Parliament
Represented the IIMA Public Policy Alumni Special Interest Group in a crypto industry meeting with Parliament’s Standing Committee on Finance — bringing first-principles Bitcoin understanding into the room where India’s policy questions were being asked.
From conversations to coordination
Meeting Bitcoiners in person confirmed what the webinars had suggested: there is real appetite to work on India’s Bitcoin policy together. That work now happens with Bitcoin Policy Institute India.
Contributing to the regulatory research
Attended the first Regional Stakeholder Consultation of the GNLU Project on Crypto Assets in India (“Assessing the Case for Regulation”) and submitted structured inputs toward its research — including a proposed taxonomy framework for crypto assets. The project’s final report is directionally consistent with those inputs: a multi-agency regulatory structure and activity-based, role-specific regulation.
