At this juncture, CoinSwitch, has also entered into a partnership with Jump.trade This goes in line with the endeavors of CoinSwitch to be an enabler of Web3 innovation in India.
The partnership between Jump.trade and CoinSwitch also shows how Indian brands in the Web3 space have strived to create a symbiosis between each other, so the overall positioning of India in this emerging technology can be strengthened. It is to be noted that Jump.trade, in the last week, surpassed brands like OpenSea to become the number one NFT marketplace on the Polygon Network.
Speaking of this partnership, Kameshwaran Elangovan, COO, Jump.trade said, “The purchase of Digital Lands by CoinSwitch shows how crypto brands, especially in the subcontinent, are getting into the NFT/Web3 space to expand their presence.

It is an interactive, collaborative online world that allows people to create, explore, and connect in previously impossible ways. We are thrilled to be part of this innovation wave and associate with RADDX Racing Metaverse. It is exciting to be part of an initiative that blurs the lines between physical and virtual realities, and we can’t wait to see where this immersive journey takes us.”
RADDX Racing Metaverse is to be an engaging and immersive game with elements like cop chases and high-octane races. The Digital Lands is likely to revolutionize advertising as the metaverse will be one of the most prominent hang-out joints, especially for the Gen-Z audience. This would mean that games like RADDX Racing Metaverse are ideal spaces for brands that would like to reach the newer segment of their target audience. CoinSwitch getting into this space proves that it is not only the traditionally rooted brands but even new-age business brands like crypto investing platforms can also capitalize on Web3 advertising.

Technology is playing a major role in driving the EV momentum – KPMG in India Report
April 18 2023 Climate change has become a collective global issue in the last 20 years, and the concerns are only increasing. While many sectors contribute to the ongoing climate emergency, the one that stands out the most is carbon emissions due to the transport sector. Over the last couple of years, the Indian government has drafted policies and plans like FAME with the aim to achieve 30% EV sales penetration for cars, 70% for commercial vehicles, 40% for buses, and 80% for two- and three-wheelers by 2030. To achieve this advanced level of EV adoption, it needs to be supported by competitive technological infrastructure. To take a further deep dive, KPMG in India, jointly with CII, has published a report titled ‘Technology at the forefront of Electric Vehicles’.
Commenting on the report, Jeffry Jacob, Partner, Partner, and Lead, Automotive, KPMG in India said “Technology is playing a key role in driving the EV landscape in India. While many of the current innovations are going to become standard offerings in the future, the addition of newer features/ development of new technology is going to be a continuous process. And with India becoming a tech hub for the world, we are at a significant advantage”.
With the advent of EVs, a lot of technological transformation has also come into play. For instance, the engine from traditional ICEs is replaced by a battery, accompanying a Battery Management System (BMS), while transmission has been replaced by a motor and a controller. As technology takes center stage, new suppliers of crucial and new components could enter this domain, leveraging new business opportunities this space has to offer. Next-generation technologies such as advanced chemistry cells are being explored for the development of batteries using alternative raw materials that are abundant in nature, cost-effective, and less impacted due to market volatility.
Key highlights:
For India, growth in EVs is expected to continue for the rest of the decade, with 2W and 3W expected to dominate EV sales in the near future
EV adoption is expected to see an inflection point once all vehicle segments show significant ownership savings over ICE vehicles
Commenting on the findings of the report, Rohan Rao, Partner, Automotive and Lead Electric Mobility, KPMG in India said “It is exciting to see EVs become a reality in India. On the demand side while EVs provide consumers with a cheaper, greener alternative, on the supply side, we are seeing a leveled playing field with start-ups going toe to toe with established incumbents through rapid innovation and speed to market.”
Future of Mobility
The shift to EVs is no longer an uncertainty but only a question of when. Adoption levels are expected to see exponential growth in the future with developing infrastructure, government incentives, and the launch of new EV models. Technology is at the forefront of the EV revolution. The shift from ICE to EV has increased the electronics content from 16 percent to 55 percent in a vehicle with the addition of new features and controls. Many of these technologies are going to become standard offerings in the future and the addition of newer features/ development of new technology is going to be a continual process.
