Web3 has become a buzzword in India with a lot of people keen on the 'decentralized Web'. There has been immense development in the space with more companies setting up base in India while tech giants such as Apple and Microsoft are listing vacancies in their respective AR/VR division. According to reports, Web3 is one of the fastest growing sectors globally. According to NASSCOM, India holds approximately 11 per cent of the global Web3 talent making India one of the world's largest Web3 workforce contributor, employing approximately 75,000 blockchain professionals.
