Public Blockchains can be India’s ticket to empowering innovators

In August last year, a little-known startup pulled off something significant: it uploaded diploma certificates of 1 lakh students on the blockchain. The students could have their skill sets verified for prospective employers within seconds now, as opposed to nearly a month. The process was automated. LegitDoc, the startup, deployed this solution on Polygon, a public blockchain. The project has since become the world’s largest blockchain implementation for educational credentialing and issued over a million verifiable diploma certificates.
