About us
Blockchain For Impact (BFI) is a catalyst funder from the global blockchain industry that, in coordination with fellow partners, strives to forge multi-sectoral collaborations that deliver long-term and equitable preparedness mechanisms to address India’s overstretched and under-resourced healthcare infrastructure and help marginalized and vulnerable communities.
