Shamit Khemka, the managing director of SynapseIndia, has an eye for detail when it comes to the application of new technologies. Blockchain has recently captivated the imagination of many business leaders, and Shamit Khemka is no exception.

Blockchain is an innovative way of transferring information from one point to another, transparently. This transmission of data would be fully automated and secure. One party in the transaction initiates the process by creating blocks of information. These blocks are verified by tens of thousands of computers distributed around the network.

Blocks store unique information that distinguish them from other blocks. When a particular block stores new data, it is added to the blockchain. A few things are required for a block to be added to a blockchain. For example, a transaction must happen and this transaction has to be verified. Bitcoin uses this model for monetary transactions.

One of the unique features of blockchain is that it can not only store digital currency but also can replace all process and business models that rely on charging a small transaction fee.

Information stored on a blockchain exists as a shared database that is accessible to the entire network. The blockchain database is not stored in any single location and the records kept by the database are accessible and verifiable.
