Indian technology company Tech Mahindra will be implementing an anti-spam call solution powered by blockchain, Indian business daily Business Today reports on May 2.
This solution will allow phone companies to comply with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's regulations to protect mobile phone subscribers from unsolicited Commercial Communication, which will come into effect in the last week of May. Rajesh Dhuddu, Global Practice Leader of Blockchain at Tech Mahindra said that the TRAI regulations will affect 800 million subscribers.
The solution uses blockchain tech to save and share a user's incoming contact settings, i.e. who they have consented to receive communications from.
Tech Mahindra says they provided proof of concept for this solution, in conjunction with Microsoft, to TRAI back in 2018.
"Blockchain, with its key features such as Secure Hash Algorithms, Consensus based decision making, immutable transactions and distributed ledgers, serves as a panacea for growing trust deficit not only in G2C services but also in overall business world."
As previously reported, Tech Mahindra is now working with tech giant Samsung to implement solutions with the latter's blockchain platform Nexledger.
The arrangement allows Samsung to expand its international blockchain opportunities and for Tech Mahindra to grow its blockchain operations in India.
