EP948: Beyond the Hype: Making Blockchain Secure, Compliant, and Enterprise-Ready
About this episode
Siddharth Ugrankar, CEO & Co-Founder, Qila.io
Blockchain has long been associated with hype and experimentation, but its real value is now emerging in highly regulated environments like banking, insurance, and financial services. As institutions prioritise security, compliance, and transparency, enterprise-grade blockchain is becoming a practical foundation for next-generation financial infrastructure.
In this episode, Vriti Gothi speaks with Siddharth Ugrankar, CEO and Co-Founder of Qila.io, to unpack how blockchain can strengthen trust in banking systems, the role of private blockchains in CBDCs and cross-border settlements, and how tokenisation and smart contracts are reshaping financial markets. They also discuss India’s evolving regulatory stance on data localisation and explore real-world use cases where blockchain is already delivering measurable impact across BFSI.
