Web3 Event Unchained Summit Launches First India Edition in Mumbai

The two-day event, hosted by Aeternum, marks the third edition of the summit after Dubai and Vietnam. Organizers say the Mumbai edition will center on the intersection of traditional finance, digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, and emerging technologies.

India's regulatory stance on cryptocurrencies remains cautious compared to many other major markets, despite the country ranking first in Chainalysis' 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index. The summit aims to bring international perspectives into discussions on regulation, adoption, and the future of digital-asset markets.

Tokenization and enterprise blockchain are expected to be key topics. The announcement cites the Reserve Bank of India's exploration of asset tokenization through its central bank digital currency sandbox and the National Blockchain Framework as examples of growing government and enterprise interest in blockchain infrastructure.

Confirmed speakers include S.B. Seker, head of APAC at Binance; Ashish Singhal, co-founder of CoinSwitch; Praneeth Srikanti, partner at Ethereal Ventures; Eva Wong, general counsel at Parity Technologies; Prabal Banerjee, co-founder of Avail; and Dilip Chenoy, chairperson of the Bharat Web3 Association. Representatives from Coinbase, Ondo Finance, Base, Sigma Capital, Monarq Asset Management, and Trilegal will also attend.

Day one will cover markets, finance, and digital assets, including regulation, trading, tokenization, real-world assets, stablecoins, payments, wealth management, capital markets, custody, and liquidity. Day two will focus on Web3, infrastructure, and emerging technology, with sessions on blockchain infrastructure, artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, scaling, interoperability, security, digital trust, and consumer applications.

The event highlights India's growing developer talent pool. Organizers note that India had 21.9 million developers on GitHub in 2025, the platform's second-largest developer community globally, with more than 5.2 million developers added during the year.

Sharath Kumar, founder and CEO of Aeternum, said the summit is designed to connect the capital, policy, and technology sides of India's digital-asset ecosystem and bring international perspectives into the conversation. The event will bring together traders, wealth managers, family offices, founders, investors, developers, traditional financial institutions, and Web3 companies.
