LALA World Driving the Global Digital Economy Engine
We all can relate to a digital economy with the credit card in our pockets, online banking, and e-wallets installed on our smartphones. But it is significant that the digital economy keeps adopting the new innovations offered by the emerging technologies. For example, Blockchain has many unique features that impart fresh angles to the business models, business networking and opportunities of international money transfers.
The digital economy can truly be accomplished globally only if all enterprises across geographies are given an opportunity to register themselves on a platform which is decentralized. Properties of Blockchain can give world enormous choices which can be put to execution in a variety of industries. Benefits generated from the Blockchain technology can be the stepping stones in achieving Global Digital Economy.

Liberating an individual by providing him with the facilities of money transfer, peer-to-peer lending, with whom so ever he wants to, is the true meaning of a Digital Economy. At present, this is obsolete in many developing countries. But there are entrepreneurs like the Founder & CEO of LALA World, Sankalp Shangari, who are putting their energy in reaching the unbanked population to help them acquire digital independence. LALA World has developed multiple Blockchain-based products that would empower migrants & the disadvantaged communities by providing them financial freedom.

The world today remains connected to the internet mostly due to the social media. In Malawi, where birth registration rates are only 2%, recent data suggest that 4% of the population is on Facebook — and climbing (Source: UN.ORG). If people find it fascinating to register themselves on the social media through internet, it clears the cloud on the misconception that Blockchain technology cannot reach everybody. People who are not even registered in government accounts, have internet access which proves Blockchain potentially can empower them all.
Government and enterprises can unite to work towards bringing about a positive change in the plight of the disadvantaged section in these developing countries and can reach maximum population through their smartphones. The number of smartphone users is forecasted to grow from 2.1 billion in 2016 to around 2.5 billion in 2019. 36 percent of the world’s population is projected to use a smartphone by 2018, up from about 10 percent in 2011.

What truly needs to be done is to generate awareness in the people about benefits of using this meticulous technology.
