Tech Mahindra partners with blockchain firm ChromaWay

BENGALURU: IT services major Tech Mahindra has partnered with Stockholm-based ChromaWay to deliver blockchain technology solutions to the Indian market.
ChromaWay and Tech Mahindra will focus on developing core technologies primarily for land registration and real estate process orchestration.
The company said ChromaWay’s experience in building blockchain solutions for government agencies in Sweden and Andhra Pradesh would be useful for the technology solutions to be developed through this partnership.
“Together, they aim to build on the existing strong relationship with the governments, and in due course expand to neighboring states. The ultimate goal through this partnership is to have the open-source technology platform powering a rich ecosystem of applications both in land registration and beyond, on a global scale,” said the company in a statement.
