Bitget, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Avalanche, the world’s fastest smart contract platform. Together, the two blockchain giants aim to accelerate grassroots adoption of Web3 technologies, with a particular focus on empowering communities across India.
Avalanche has been actively expanding its footprint in India, collaborating with government bodies on social welfare initiatives and launching a mini-grants program to support builders at every stage of development. Meanwhile, Bitget is championing blockchain education through its Blockchain4Youth program, which has pledged $10 million over five years to fund scholarships, workshops, and hackathons worldwide. Additionally, Bitget’s Blockchain4Her initiative is focused on promoting and supporting women-led Web3 projects, particularly in India.
The collaboration kicked off with the ‘HODL ON’ tour, hosting its first two successful meetups in Delhi and Bangalore. The events aimed to boost blockchain awareness and education among India’s vibrant Web3 community.
Devika Mittal, Regional Head at Ava Labs, shared her excitement about the initiative:
“India has one of the strongest Web3 communities globally. Whether you’re in Delhi, Varanasi, or elsewhere, we want to create spaces where enthusiasts can connect, collaborate, and build. With several Layer-1 launches on Avalanche scheduled for 2025, we expect an incredible year of innovation and activity from developers.”
Jyotsna Hridyani, South Asia Head at Bitget, added:
“Empowering young minds with knowledge is critical to unlocking blockchain’s potential in shaping India’s digital future. Through community outreach, partnerships with academic institutions, and accessible learning programs, Bitget is dedicated to bridging the knowledge gap.”
This partnership aims to scale Web3 education initiatives throughout India by hosting more workshops, meetups, and funding opportunities for developers and entrepreneurs.
With India leading the world in crypto adoption and ranked second for Web3 developer talent, Bitget and Avalanche believe the country holds the key to the next wave of blockchain innovation. India currently houses over 1,000 Web3 startups, and Bitget’s mission is to help double that number by the end of 2025 through focused mentorship and financial support.
Akshay Aggarwal, Co-founder of Blockchained India, emphasized the momentum:
“India’s scale and digital depth provide a unique opportunity to define real-world Web3 applications. True relevance comes from consistent action. This is our inflection point — it’s time to keep building with those committed to long-term value creation.”
