India Blockchain Week 2026
India Blockchain Week 2026 takes place on 1 and 2 November at the Fairmont Mumbai. The change of city is the story.
After three editions in Bangalore, IBW moves to Mumbai for its fourth. Bangalore is India’s engineering centre; Mumbai is its financial one. Moving the country’s flagship Web3 conference from one to the other says something specific about who the organisers now expect to attend, and it tracks a broader shift from builder-led events toward capital-led ones.
The move also lands into an unresolved policy environment. India taxes virtual digital assets at a flat 30% with 1% TDS and no loss set-off, while having no custody framework for the funds and advisers who would use one. Our explainer on India crypto tax and the VDA framework covers what is settled and what is not, and we reported the cancelled parliamentary hearing on virtual digital assets that pushed the framework decision back again.
For anyone following Indian crypto policy rather than global protocol news, this is the most important event on the domestic calendar.
