ProofMint

Great to be back in Hyderabad for @AlgoFoundation’s Startup Lab Demo Day. Bharat’s #web3 founders are some of the most innovative and committed in the world; of course, the best building for scale are building on #Algorand. Deep gratitude to our partners at @THubHyd for supporting our startups as they go to market. Stay tuned for exciting updates as these solutions begin to scale.

We bid farewell to 2025 with a recap of the excitement, the milestones, the launches, the journeys, the impact achieved by our amazing AlgoBharat community in the year gone by. It was the highlight of our year to celebrate your achievements at this year’s @AlgoFoundation India Summit. Well done, #algofam! And so much more to do. Farewell, 2025. 2026, here we come!

India Summit Spotlight: Ecosystem companies ProofMint and Edubuk solve a problem facing a growing number of employers and job candidates.  The rising incidence of false and exaggerated claims in CVs costs HR teams more each year on background checks to ensure they are hiring candidates with the requisite skills and qualifications for the job.  Meanwhile, candidates spend more time and money tracking down verified training and degree certificates, often delaying start dates by months. Congrats to @AkashMallareddy, on ProofMint's mainnet launch, issuing on-chain credentials for verified degree certificates. And welcome @Apoorva_Edubuk and @shivani_edubuk, preparing to launch the Edubuk solution on Algorand, incorporating verified credentials to turn an ordinary CV into a TruCV. Check out the power of this ecosystem partnership at youtu.be/NOT1QJbk_cg. @proof_mint @edubuktrust @AlgoFoundation

We kicked off India Summit weekend on Dec 5 with the AlgoBharat Hack Series. From the original 368 submissions, 26 were selected to pitch in the semifinals. It was a high energy day packed with India’s brightest devs showing off their #web3 chops. Eight took home the prize money, and the top four went on to pitch on the @AlgoFoundation India Summit main stage. Get a peak into the action here. And don’t let any rust set in. Keep those dev digits well-oiled as we prepare to kick off an even hotter and higher stakes 2026 AlgoBharat Hack Series next month!

We promised an even bigger, better, bolder India 🇮🇳 Summit this year. We hope you found the stories of devs dev’ing, builders building, startups launching and enterprises scaling as inspiring as we did. These are real world solutions — delivering operational efficiency, creating impact! If you were with us, let us know how we did. If you weren’t able to join us, no worries. We’ll be sharing the stories right here over the next few days. Follow us and discover what a #blockchain can do. In the meantime, here’s a peak at the energy and excitement that Day 2 at @AlgoFoundation India Summit delivered. 🚀
