Cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, Bitget, has become the latest major partner for the 2025 edition of the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai.
By supporting the India Blockchain Tour, Bitget says it hopes to bring a sharper focus to blockchain education and real-world applications across the three major cities through curated networking and knowledge-sharing events in the second half of the year.
Organised by Octaloop, IBT 2025 will span eight cities and feature key voices across policy, investment, development, and product. Hyderabad (June 28), Ahmedabad (July 13), and Mumbai (August 3) will serve as the core cities supported by Bitget, with each stop designed to bring together a local mix of talent and curiosity.
Ultimately, the Tour aims to create an entry point into blockchain technology and digital assets, for students, developers, and working professionals alike by hosting interactive sessions, product showcases, and discussion forums.
“India is a key market for us,” explained Jyotsna Hirdyani, head of South Asia at Bitget. “Whether it’s working with regulators or engaging directly with blockchain developers, we’re actively building here. As one of the top global exchanges, we see this tour as an opportunity to meet people on the ground and strengthen the trust that drives long-term growth.”
The choice of Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai reflects a broader pattern in India’s web3 progress. These cities are known for their concentration of technical universities, strong fintech ecosystems, and a rising number of first-time blockchain users. Engaging them through direct, city-level programming allows for a sharper local pulse – one that online campaigns often miss.
Building trust across India
India’s role in the global crypto and blockchain landscape continues to expand, marked by growing developer activity, rising user interest in self-custody and DeFi, and increasingly visible local startup innovation. The tour provides a natural format to channel this momentum into more structured learning and collaboration, while offering platforms for emerging voices and projects to gain visibility.
As the tour continues across India through the end of the year, Bitget’s participation aims to serve as a touchpoint for those seeking practical exposure to blockchain beyond market cycles. With a focus on accessibility and relevance, the collaboration intends to build tangible outcomes for the people who will shape India’s next wave of digital innovation.
This announcement comes shortly after Bitget joined forces with UNICEF’s ‘Game Changers Coalition’, which aims to support adolescent girls, parents, mentors and teachers with blockchain skills across eight regions: Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, and South Africa.
This year’s multi-city IBT roadshow marks a return to on-ground activation for Bitget in India, building on the success of its 2023 ‘India Learns Crypto’ initiative. That campaign launched with packed meetups in Delhi and Mumbai, drawing hundreds of attendees and leading to sustained community interest in educational forums. The Delhi session alone brought together over 140 participants, while the Mumbai event hosted over 300.
