Companies News : Global IT services giant Accenture will soon see the roll-out of its blockchain solutions by two oil and gas majors in Asia-Pacific and North American regions, and most part of the implementation is being done by the company’s advanced technology centre in India.

Though blockchain has grabbed a lot of attention globally as a transformational technology post its use in crypto currencies, the large-scale implementation by enterprises is still a far cry. The company had already piloted the solution in these companies, which would soon see enterprise-level implementation. “After a year of discussion and co-innovation with one of our oil and gas clients, proof of concept and solutions have been signed up. Now, they are going for full-scale global implementation. It will happen soon," according to Mohan Sekhar, Senior managing director and lead at Accenture Advanced Technology Centres in India. “We are doing a lot of work from our Indian centre.”

Accenture is one of the largest global IT employers in India with a headcount of over 150,000. Out of those, over 4,000 employees are working on new-age technologies and innovative solutions.
