In 2015, former RBI governor Raghuram Ranjan had stated that digital currency was fascinating and that India’s central bank could use digital currencies. He had said, “I have no doubt, that down the line, we will be moving towards primarily a cashless society and we’ll have some kind of currencies like this which will be at work.”
THAT WAS THE BIRTH OF INDICOIN

Indicoin was brought to life because of a collective conscious of our team . This included the responsibility of helping improve the world and community around us using means that were familiar to us. Seeing the blockchain as a landmark technology we decided to create a decentralised currency centred around social welfare and community improvement. Thus the inception of an idea to help create a better world coupled with our collective interests in the blockchain space made all of us excited about pursuing this opportunistic project . After a year and half of meticulous research and development INDICOIN ‘our brain child’ was born .
The INDICOIN Token (INDI) is developed to address the broken social sector. INDI, an ERC20 token built on top of Ethereum, will be the unit of exchange in a new, decentralised, open source and efficient blockchain-based digital advertising platform.
