Mphasis nudge Blockchain technologies in India Opens first ever Centre of Excellence

Mphasis at its Bangalore headquarters has propelled a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Blockchain based solutions framework to facilitate enterprises to swiftly adopt and onboard blockchain based solutions and services.

The company plans to dedicatedly conduct research, rapid prototyping, co-creation of use cases and IP creation on blockchain technology and platforms.

In line with Mphasis’ hyper-specialization strategy, this Blockchain CoE is sought to initially develop solutions for the Mortgage, Insurance and Payment industries on private blockchain.

Mphasis’ blockchain framework is touted to collate applications, data & routing layer and enablers to interface with public blockchains. The data & routing layer is the core of this framework, designed to help organizations to organize and publish millions of cryptographic proofs on blockchains.

Citing on the development, Gopinathan Padmanabhan, Chief Innovation Officer and President – Global Delivery, Mphasis, “We strongly believe that the Blockchain technology will disrupt business flows and processes across different industries. While the financial sector will lead the adoption and find innovative use cases of Blockchain, the possibilities it offers across industry segments are significant. Private blockchains are likely to be more acceptable and adopted by financial institutions in the initial adoption stages for their internal processes and Mphasis’ solutions in this area will help accelerate the adoption of Blockchain technology by our customers.”

The private blockchain is scalable to store millions of auditable, quickly traceable records on shared ledgers. Mphasis private blockchain connects to the bitcoin network, which makes the model immensely scalable.  The blockchain also interfaces with multiple external data service providers to orchestrate multi entity workflows.

“Being a business transformation enabler for enterprises, we intend to take center stage in shaping global technological disruptions. Continuing our focus on innovation and technology, Mphasis Blockchain framework will revolutionize legacy practices, help reduce costs as well as increase operational efficiency and legitimacy of transaction data,” said Dinesh Venugopal, President – Mphasis Digital and Strategic Customers.

The Mphasis Centre of Excellence for Blockchain technologies will be headed by Nitin Narkhede, Vice President & Head of Service Innovation.
