Inhisbook,‘ ’,anInternational WhyBlockchain BlockchainExpert&ProfessionalConsultant, HarmanPuri,providesthe simplest yetthe profoundest answerofall: For the future ‘Where Privacy and Transparency Coexist.’
Inaworldoftendrivenbyfinancialsuccessandprestige, Harmantookaleapoffaiththatwouldalterthetrajectory ofhiscareerandlife.Hisstoryisnotjustoneofpersonal transformationbutalsoareflectionofthebroaderpotential ofemergingtechnologieslikeBlockchain.Here’sadeeper lookintoHarman’sjourney,thepivotalmomentsthat shapedhim,andthelegacyhehopestoleavebehind.
OvercomingEarlyChallenges:ASelf-MadeJourney
Harman’spathtosuccesswasnotwithoutitschallenges. Withlimitedmentorshipavailable,hereliedheavilyon onlineresources—blogs,videos,andtutorials—toguidehis learning.Thisself-directedapproachlaidthefoundationfor hisexpertise,butthejourneywasfraughtwithscepticism fromotherswhodoubtedthelongevityofblockchain technology.“Many people warned me against dedicating my career to blockchain because they feared it would die,” herecalls.
Thislackofsupportonlyfueledhisdeterminationtoprove thenaysayerswrong.Italsoinstilledinhimtheimportance ofresilience,atraitthatwouldservehimwellashe navigatedthecomplexitiesoftheindustry
Harman'sdriveintotheBlockchainspacebeganin2018, atimewhentheworldwasstartingtorecognizethe limitationsofcentralizeddatamanagement.Likemany youngprofessionalsinIT,hesawthevastvalueandpower ofdata.Herealizedtheundeniablepotentialforinnovation inhowdatawasstoredandmanaged,knowingitwasafield thatwouldshapethefuture.
Formany,theallureofahigh-payingjobishardtoresist. However,forHarman,adefiningmomentcamewhenhe chosetowalkawayfromacomfortablesalarytopursue aninternshipatablockchaincompanyforsignificantly lessmoney.“I wanted to learn,”heexplainssimply,butthe
decisionwasanythingbuteasy.Itrequiredimmense couragetostepawayfromfinancialsecurityanddelveinto anindustrythatwasstilllargelymisunderstood.
Thisboldmovenotonlymarkedthebeginningofhiscareer inBlockchainbutalsohighlightedhiscommitmentto personalgrowth.Byprioritizinglearningoverimmediate financialgain,Harmanpositionedhimselfattheforefront ofanemergingindustry,onethatpromisedtorevolutionize varioussectors.
WhattrulydroveHarmantodiveintoBlockchainwasits potentialasanalternativetotraditionaldatastorage methods.HisinitialencounterwithBlockchaincame throughaninternship,wherehelearnedaboutHyperledger andCordaasadeveloper.ThepermissionedBlockchain spaceespeciallycaptivatedhim,asitemphasized institutionalgovernance.Thisexperiencehelpedhimsee thatBlockchainextendedbeyonddecentralizationand transparency;itheldthecapacitytoaddressreal-world challengesrelatedtoscalability,finality,andthroughput.
Harman’sbackgroundinatier-3areafueledhisdesireto breakboundariesandexploreunchartedterritories.“I was always on the lookout for emerging industries,”herecalls. UpondiscoveringBlockchainanditsvastpotential applications,heknewhehadfoundhisniche.Thissenseof belongingtoacutting-edgeindustrynotonlyvalidatedhis choicebutalsomotivatedhimtoimmersehimselffully
Hiscuriosityanddeterminationhaveallowedhimtocarve outauniquespaceforhimselfintheblockchainsector,a testamenttohisforward-thinkingmindsetandwillingness toembracechange.
Atthestartofhisjourney,Harmanrecognizedthat competingwithestablishedgiantslikeDeloitte,KPMG, IBM,andInfosyswasunrealistic.Thesemajorplayers dominatedthemarket,makingitfiercelycompetitiveeven amongthemselves.However,healsoobservednumerous MSMEsintheBlockchainspacestrugglingtofindclients, attracttherighttalent,andscaletheiroperationseffectively
Inresponse,Harmanfocusedonbuildingastrongpersonal brandaroundthetrendingnarrativeofBlockchain expertise.Positioninghimselfasanauthorityinthefield,he launchedapersonalwebsite,authoredabook,ledfaculty developmenttraining,conductedfreelecturesnationwide, organizedevents,andparticipatedinpanels—allcentredon Blockchain.Reflectingonthisapproach,Harmanshared, “Buildingapersonalbrandgavemetheauthorityand authenticitytoestablishmypresence,bringingmecloserto mygoalofbecominganinternationalnameinBlockchain.”
Additionally,heunderstoodthatBlockchainthriveson collaborationandsharedknowledge,soheactivelyengaged withdevelopers,students,andindustryleaders.By organizinghackathons,educationalprograms,andevents acrossIndia,heempoweredthenextgenerationof Blockchainprofessionals,fosteringanecosystemthat supportshisgrowthwhilecontributingtothebroader community.Harmanattributeshissuccesstoabalance betweeninnovationandcollaboration,notingthat consistentlypushingboundarieswhilemeetingpeople’s needshasbeenthefoundationofhisgrowth.
Reflectingonhisjourney,Harmanshared,"Blockchain wasn’t just a buzzword for me, but a groundbreaking technology capable of solving complex problems."Withthis thirstforknowledgeandadeepunderstandingof Blockchain’ssignificance,hesetoutonapaththathehas passionatelypursuedeversince.
Harmanemphasizesthatstayingattheforefrontofthe rapidlyevolvingBlockchainlandscapedemandscontinuous learning,experimentation,andstrategicforesight.Histeam diligentlytracksemergingtrendsinthespace,from advancementsinscalabilityandprivacysolutionsto regulatorydevelopments.Thisapproach,henotes,enables themtoanticipatemarketshiftsandadjuststrategies accordingly.
Healsohighlightstheimportanceofcommunity, acknowledgingthatconnectionsoftenserveasprimary sourcesofindustryinsights.“Sometimes, the latest updates reach me through a simple WhatsApp message from a friend,”Harmansays.Histeam'sactiveinvolvementinthe Blockchaincommunitythroughevents,hackathons,and partnershipskeepsthemcloselyconnectedwithindustry happenings.IntheBlockchainworld,hefirmlybelieves, "Your network truly is your net worth.”
LearningfromFailures:TheImportanceof Partnerships
OneofthemorechallengingaspectsofHarman’sjourney hasbeenfindingtherightbusinesspartners.“It’sharder thanfindingalifepartner,”hejokes,butthere’saserious lessonembeddedinhiswords.Heemphasizestheneedto taketimewhenenteringbusinessrelationships,highlighting thatevenclosefriendshipscanbecomestrainedwhen moneyisinvolved.
Thisexperiencehastaughthimtodiversifyhispartnerships andnottoputallhiseggsinonebasket.It’salessonrooted intheharshrealitiesofbusiness,yetithasshapedhis approachtocollaborationmovingforward.
Furthermore,thesefailureshelpedhimhonehisleadership. Harmanenvisionsthatleanorganizationswillbecomethe standardforfuturebusinessmodels.Heforeseesashift where,ratherthanasinglebrandoverseeingmultiple companies(likeTata),tomorrow'slandscapewillseea consortiumofcompaniesoperatingindependently.“My leadership style is straightforward—hire people who share this vision and are skilled enough to manage collaborations effectively,”henotes.

Keytakeaway:Ethicalleadership,indeed,isthekey.
Ethicalleadershipisthegroundonwhichtrustand transparencylie.blockchain-drivenorganizationleadersare, therefore,notmerecustodiansofinnovationintechnologies butalsochampionsofethicsandaccountability.Ethical leadersadheretoprinciplesbasedonfairness,honesty,and inclusiveness,ensuringthatsuchtechnologyimpactsthe greatergoodratherthannarrowinterests.

BuildingTrustThroughBlockchain
Oneofthemostacclaimedvirtuesofblockchainisthatit helpscreatetrust.Beingdecentralizedandimmutable,the blockchaindoesnotallowanyonetomakechangestothe datacreated,hencemakingitasourceoftruth.Trustinthe technologyalone,however,isnotenough;peoplehaveto believeintheleadershipandtheorganizationsthatcreate thetechnology
