Tech in Asia - Inside the tsunami of NFTs in India

Read from your browser

Daily Newsletter

Hello there ,

I was thinking about opening this newsletter with some anecdote from my childhood about playing the Magic: The Gathering trading card game or the couple of video game character statuettes I have at home (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Raiden is a beauty) and then ride on the collectibles theme to insert a smooth segue to NFTs, but ...

What do you know, looks like I did it anyway, albeit with a touch of meta awareness.

Anyway, the NFT wave is hitting India hard. We explore the trend in depth in today’s premium article.
