Progressive enterprises such as fortune 500 companies
from retail and finance to auto-mobile and airlines are
exploring tangible business outcomes in business
operations and security with the implementation of
blockchain solutions. Considering some of those, The
United Health Group has partnered with blockchain to
keep records up to date which will examine how data from

Amazon Web Service is now equipped with two popular
blockchain frameworks, Hyperledger Fabric and

DefenceDrawing Close to BlockchainApplications
Issues of cybersecurity-related to military organizations
are the biggest concern of any nation. So adapting a secure
communication is crucial. Many of the applications such
as, integration of drone technology withAI and blockchain
applications can not only analyze and accurately report on
real-time footages but also yield autonomous drone
operations. Each drone can work as a part of a
decentralized network thus storing the data safely on the
blockchain. Many military organizations are increasing the
use of emerging tech in its operations and looking to
blockchain to check breaches and cybersecurity issues in
communicationdata.
India’s Manoeuvretowards BlockchainTechnology
India’s public sector is fast emerging as a large consumer of
Blockchain technology. Thus 50% of the state
governments are involved in initiating and collaborating
with different stakeholders to accelerate the public sector
blockchain adoption in the country according to
NASSCOM Avasant India Blockchain Report 2019. In
India, the BFSI (Banking, financial services, and
insurance) sector is leading the blockchain adoption along
with major banks and insurance companies. Other
industries such as healthcare, retail, and manufacturing are
alsojoiningtherace.
Though upgrading the skills is the biggest challenge faced
by the providers across India, they are trying to build the
gap through cross-training programs. The service
providers are also building abstraction layers on top of the
existing platforms to enable employees skilled in widely
used development languages like JAVA and C++ to code
onit,therebysavingoncosthiring.
FewWorriesbut Strong Desire
There are some challenges faced in the implementation of
blockchain technology. Cybersecurity is one of the
concerns but, tech giants are taking advanced efforts to
tackle the security issues by hiring smart competitors and
seamlessly training the candidates who need technical
support.
TimeAhead
India has a cautious approach towards shaping the
blockchain ecosystem which can help drive the innovation
in India. Certain surveys have estimated that India could be
in the leadership ranks in the adoption of blockchain
technology.The previous generations of blockchain lacked
the key features that could be used to support use cases
beyond financial services applications and limited
interoperability between diverse platforms. But due to the
emergence of the 3rd generation blockchain platform that
has security, scalability and interoperability has set
enterprisetoaccelerate.
Globally amongst the enterprises, blockchain revenue is
central to banking, manufacturing and financial services.
Other verticals are expected to ramp up quickly in the next
fewyears.
The mobile devices will be a gateway to decentralized
applications that will akin to mobile apps we use today but
run on public, peer-to-peer networks and not on the private
servers ofbigtechcompanies.

| August 2019 |22
26. What are the key attributes that helped your company
overcome the challenges that it faced during its
establishment?
Being successful in business isn’t complicated, but the
degree of difficulty is hard to explain. As far as attributing
the success in business is concerned, especially for a
startup, the goal is to connect with as many people as
possible and build a strong network. Our interpersonal
skills coupled with the marketing team’s efforts have been a
cornerstone of our growth.
With the massive tech-enabled advancements, what are
the opportunities and challenges evolving with it?
It’s amazing to see how rapidly technology is evolving,
which makes new products and platforms available to us
every day. The power to retrieve almost any information
and communicate in several different ways with buttons at
your fingertips is amazing. Something new is always on the
horizon, and we cannot help but wait and wonder about the
next technological marvel that is about to come.
There are several tech trends in store for 2019. As a service
based company, our goal is to stay on top of these
advancements and follow a constant path of self-learning
and growth in order to cater to this ever changing market.
Besides learning a new technology, we constantly try to
think about how we can leverage them to assist our clients
better.
Share with us your company’s contribution to its sector
and how it is helping its clients in their business growth.
In a world where competition consistently claims to be #1,
it’s difficult to differentiate and build your own identity.
Difficult, but not impossible. We consider effective
differentiation as one of the main challenge faced by a
business, as we are forced to compete against big
companies. We have four ways that helps our business stand
out from the crowd. Each one of the following factors has
worked well with countless clients that we have served.
Provide Exceptional Customer Service – We treat our
customers like royalty. All customers have an expectation
of great service. Even from a marketing perspective, the
cost to bring back an existing customer is lower than the
acquisition cost of a new customer. Thus, exceptional
service is an important factor in our company’s success.
Good Communication – Honest communication about our
services and project scope helps lay down realistic
expectations which ensures that the clients are satisfied with
the end result.
Come Up with Something New – We constantly try to
improve our offerings by introducing new processes and
solutions to provide better service to our clients.
Embrace Corporate Social Responsibility – While most
believe that a company’s main responsibility is to take care
of its core stakeholders such as customers, employees and
owners, we believe that businesses should give back to
society as well. As part of CSR, we try to encourage our
team to do pro-bono work as well.
How do you motivate creativity and innovation in the
workspace while maintaining a healthy work
environment?
We follow seven simple rules:
• Make our business a pleasant place to be.
• Be respectful and supportive towards all employees
• Give employees room to grow.
• Share constructive feedback with employees.
• Be honest and transparent with them.
• Offer flexible scheduling.
• Recognize their achievements.
Brief us about the current scenario of Blockchain
startups and your company’s future plans.
What began as the basis for tokens, blockchain technology
— essentially a virtual ledger having the capability to
record and verify a high volume of digital transactions — is
now expanding across a number of industries. Blockchain
tech has reached far beyond its inception within banking. In
2019, businesses are expected to spend millions of dollars
on the technology, significantly more than the amount
invested in 2018. Industries from insurance to gaming to
government are starting to see blockchain applications.
Entrepreneurs now believe that blockchain has the potential
to transform many more industries. Ultimately, the use
cases for a verifiable, transparent register of transaction data
are endless. Blockchain is also resistant to fraud as it
operates through a decentralized platform requiring no
central supervision.

Brief us about the current scenario of Blockchain
startups and your company’s future plans.
With the continued development of blockchain technology,
we are not far from a reality where people can exchange
value in a peer-to-peer manner without powerful market
regulators and central authorities. Value transactions could
be programmed and enforced in code, verified through mass
collaboration, making fraud or any other interference an
impossible task. This technology opens up new
opportunities. It could potentially revolutionize the current
models of commerce, energy, finance, politics, real estate,
and many more industries. If the rise of billion-dollar
marketplace platforms marked the last decade in the history
books of technology, I do not think that it will be far-
fetched to imagine that the next 10 years to be defined by
blockchain, when we will see networks disrupt and
decentralize entire markets, redistributing wealth and
maximizing economic efficiency in the process.
In Future CloudTrains builds a blockchain platform &
products, which delivers smart contracts solutions for
industries like real estate, finance & smart cities.
CloudTrains Technologies aims at providing an optimum
solution for reducing the risks associated with the
cryptocurrency transactions.

32. In this era of information sharing, where data is flowing
at a very high rate and the life-cycle of a
product/service is short-lived, there is a need to keep
innovating and to stay ahead of the curve. This situation has
also presented numerous opportunities as industries are
being automated at an unprecedented level. With such
advancements, one can envisage loads of opportunities in
data sciences, blockchain-based IoT services, and
AI/robotics. Opportunities like these tend to create their
own challenges like Cybersecurity, Data Breaches, and
Privacy. Living in a developing country like India, there are
numerous inefficiencies in the system which hamper
country’s growth and corruption is also rampant. Switching
to the latest blockchain technology eliminates corruption
from the system, with more transparency and lesser
middlemen to make system and processes stronger.
One such company disrupting the blockchain technology
industry is Quest Global Technologies (Quest GLT). It is
a Global Information Technology company that focuses on
enterprise development solutions. “We are ranked No. 5
across the globe by Goodfirms.co and TOP Company as
reported by Appfutura,” claims Quest GLT’s team. The firm
has served several high profile clients from sectors like
Healthcare, Education, FMCG, Finance, and Real Estate.
With an aim to provide innovative and cutting edge
enterprise automation solutions, the company has expertise
in blockchain and data lake configuration services. Quest
GLT provides end-to-end solutions to clients, along with the
motive to maximize Return on Investment as per the cost
incurred by the clients.

solutions.
A charismatic Director/Co-founder and Quest GLT’s key
strategist is Romil Jain. His know-how makes him a great
resource and along with the ability to read between the

skills while working as an S&P certified CMBS analyst,
where he was a core member of the counter-party risk
evaluation team. He has evaluated various business models
across industries like FMCG, Finance, Healthcare, and
Education. Through this Romil has acquired deep
knowledge of bottlenecks and operational problems faced
by organizations in these sectors. Such kind of hands-on
experiences is crucial in devising use cases on blockchain
and has helped the company’s clients for delivering
innovative automation solutions. His inclination to using
blockchain technology for securing the business processes
is a way of making an organization more secure and
reliable. He has orchestrated blockchain-based online

33. A Helping Hand
As the company’s tagline suggests ‘Your Partners in
Success’, it believes in working as partners and helping the
clients to devise effective, long term automation strategies.
“We go the extra mile consulting the requirements, and give
our suggestions at every step, which provides us a definite
competitive advantage as compared to our competitors,”
proclaims the team of Quest GLT. The client retention rate
of the company is exceptional and most of the clients
become long term customers due to the exceptional services
provided by the team.
Some of the services carried out by the company include:
• Blockchain/ Cryptocurrency development
• Data Ingestion framework (Big data, Hadoop, SCALA)
• Customized ERP/CRM
• Cloud/Mobility Solutions
• Salesforce Customization & Development
• E-commerce end to end development
In general, blockchain-based start-ups are faring well, with
a lot of new entrants. But there is a real dearth of quality
developers working on the customized blockchains. “We
have already established ourselves as leaders in
implementing blockchain solutions,” tells Romil. Now,
building capabilities on Enterprise Data Lake solutions
seems to be one of his new goals. “Our aim is to grow the
company 10x in the next three years by providing cutting
edge innovative solutions to our clients,” he further adds.
Quest GLT would continue to explore synergies globally
and build marketing channels across the globe to propel its
clientele. The company has already opened subsidiaries in
the USA and Canada. It has also acquired stakes in
Australian companies. “We plan to open offices in Europe,
Middle East, and Singapore in the next couple of years
while enhancing the quality of our products and services,”
states Romil discussing expansion plans.
Rising and Shining
Focus, Perseverance, and Innovation were the key attributes
that have helped the company so far in overcoming
numerous challenges since inception.
It becomes a challenging process where the blockchain
guidelines are restrictive and there are no clear guidelines
when it comes to operating in India “We need to educate
the client about the policies, which is a daunting task.
However, our focus and perseverance help us in creating
effective automation solutions for the clients,” tells Romil.
Quest GLT has helped various private and government
organizations in implementing automation solutions and to
include data sciences in processes for maximizing
efficiency. Following are some of the examples:
1. Creating a wallet for Dinar Dhiram Koin (DDK)
in-order to support and facilitate a complete audit
of the code for the DDK Blockchain, DDK
Website, Staking and Voting process of DDK.
2. Whizleads is a Sales App designed and developed
by Quest GLT. The app creates quick and easy
profiles of the leads and customers. With the use of
machine learning and artificial intelligence to
analyze the personalities, mood, and values of the
leads and customers, it helps in closing the next
deal.
3. Rowan Energy Club is the world’s first community
fed green energy company where members can
buy and sell their green energy from each other
peer to peer. The company is implementing a Price
on Application (POA) based custom Blockchain
for Rowan where-in peer to peer energy trading
would be done.
While discussing workplace efficiency and maintaining the
healthy work environment, Romil suggests a few pointers
which his team at Quest GLT implements and follows.“To
enhance creativity and innovation, we have an open-door
policy, where anyone can discuss their ideas,” expresses
Romil. “We also promote Flexi-timings and have an easy
work-from-home policy,” he describes. In addition to all of
this, the team is constantly being upgraded by participating
in various developer meetings and knowledge sharing
seminars.

36. No middlemen, trustless framework, immutability,
and inflation, Cryptocurrencies have garnered a lot
of attention among the masses.
Is crypto restricted to just sending and receiving money
across peers and making money? Interestingly not!
This peer to peer mechanism has created an industry that
has disrupted every nook and corner in finance, commerce,
capital, and the traditional world. From Aerospace to
healthcare, real estate to voting, supply chain to
cross-border payments we are looking at another important
breakthrough after the internet. The Blockchain plays a
pivotal role in reducing costs, claiming ownership and
automation. It possesses credible properties such as inherent
trust, legitimacy and a faultless mechanism working under
the hood. Being distributed, it does not allow any single
party to have complete access or control the network, which
is why it has become one of the most favored technologies
in the world. It is now driven by ever greater amounts of
development, applications, social networking, VR, Games,
remittances etc.
Corporate giants and world-renowned banks have started
harnessing Blockchain’s power to streamline business and
money sent over centralized networks. A record-keeping
mechanism that is utterly secure and faultless, who would
not want to jump right in and become an advocate. There
are many businesses and banking Blockchain running
across the world such as public, permissioned,
semi-permissioned and private ones such as the
open-source Hyperledger project, R3 Corda, Ripple etc.
Governments are also looking forward to implementing
Blockchain in their development projects to transform
existing models which are slow and less significant.
Blockchain in India is now emerging at a decent pace. An
Indian Blockchain company is planning to implement this
technology in securing title deeds with Rajasthan state
government. It will help in auditing land titles and
preventing false allotment for personal gains. A majority of
cases in courts comprise of land disputes which Blockchain
can end once and for all. India is a growing nation with the
ambitions of becoming a superpower so utilizing
Blockchain in various sectors can boost up the economy as
well as eradicate fraudulent activities.
Disruption has knocked on our doors, are we ready to
embrace it?
The Blockchain has deeply influenced sectors like Fintech,
Supply Chain, Healthcare, Logistics, Real Estate and even
service industries such as Online Dating. Safer ecosystems,
trustless relations and paradigm-shattering solutions to
mundane things continue to attract the untouched fiat
markets as well. The recent development of this can be
attributed to JP Morgan Chase which is coming up with
their own JPM coin. It is designed to help their clients and
customers with smoother financial transactions adopting
Blockchain technology. Fintech Blockchains such as Ripple
and Cashaa is already recognized by a few prominent
banks. The Blockchain also remains unperturbed by the
governments that impose laws, create stringent policies, or
deter people from investing.
There are other industry sectors that are wide-reaching and
making changes to improve efficiency. NASA is also
boosting data security and safeguarding the privacy and
security of flight data and mid-air airline communications
by utilizing this tech. It is not an overnight prospect but is
still achievable. For competent professionals across sectors,
the abundance of modern tools and technology will aid the
facelift. Currently, the industry is in need of solutions that
offer customer services, interoperability and increased
security which is highly synonymous to innovative
technologies like Blockchain. Enterprise adoption of the
Blockchain will help revolutionize businesses in operations,
settlements, HR, data science and more as opposed to
centralized and slower models.
In the future, whether its IOT, Robotics or Machine
Learning the Blockchain will create an interconnected
universe of technologies mingled together for more
productive ecosystems.
