Rise In Builds India’s Largest Web3 Talent Community Through Education, Hackathons, and Ecosystem Partnerships

INDIA, June 2026 

Rise In, the Web3 education and developer growth platform, has built India’s largest Web3 talent community, bringing together nearly 70,000 registered developers across the country.

Since launching its first India programs in 2022, Rise In has grown from a developer education initiative into a nationwide talent network connecting Indian builders with leading blockchain ecosystems. Through free courses, bootcamps, hackathons, university programs, ambassador initiatives, and community events, Rise In helps developers move from learning blockchain fundamentals to building real projects on-chain.

India has become one of the strongest markets in Rise In’s global network. As blockchain ecosystems increasingly look to India for developers, founders, and technical contributors, Rise In has built one of the country’s most active networks for identifying, training, and supporting Web3 talent.

Globally, Rise In serves more than 400,000 developers across 180+ countries. Across its ecosystem programs, the platform has supported the creation of 30,000+ projects, helped more than 22,000 developers build at least one Web3 project, and delivered 300+ programs and events in partnership with 25+ blockchain ecosystems and technology organizations.

Building India’s Web3 Talent Pipeline

India is now one of the most important markets for blockchain ecosystems seeking developer talent. Rise In has built its India community by working directly with universities, student communities, developer groups, and ecosystem partners across the country.

Rise In programs have reached major technology and education hubs, including Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Vijayawada, Indore, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Raipur, and many more.

The community is designed to go beyond online learning. Developers join Rise In to gain practical skills, build projects, participate in hackathons, contribute to open-source ecosystems, apply for grants, and connect with global blockchain teams looking for talent.

This full-cycle model has helped Rise In become India’s largest Web3 talent community, with a strong presence across both online programs and in-person developer events.

Helping Ecosystems Find and Grow Developers in India

Rise In works with leading blockchain ecosystems to help them reach, educate, and activate developers in India.

For ecosystem partners, Rise In provides more than access to a large audience. It helps turn developer interest into real activity through structured education, hands-on workshops, hackathons, project submissions, ambassador programs, and long-term community engagement.

This approach has made Rise In a trusted developer growth partner for ecosystems including Aptos, Stellar, Stacks, Solana, Sui, Circle, Algorand, EDU Chain, Midnight, MultiversX, IOTA, and others.

Scaling Aptos Developer Education in India

Rise In’s collaboration with Aptos has become one of the largest Aptos developer education initiatives in India.

Through the Move on Aptos program, Rise In helped train and engage more than 1,500 developers across India through online programs, in-person workshops, hackathons, and community events.

According to Electric Capital’s 2024 Developer Report, approximately 16% of all new Aptos developers globally in 2024 came through Rise In programs.

The initiative led to the creation of more than 407 Aptos projects, with activations across cities including Kolkata, Delhi NCR, and Vijayawada. Rise In and Aptos are now working toward a goal of training more than 4,000 developers across India through future programs.

Growing One of India’s Largest Stellar Developer Communities

Rise In’s partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation has grown into one of the largest Stellar developer growth initiatives in India.

Through the Soroban Developer Education Program and follow-on Stellar initiatives, Rise In helped train and engage more than 3,500 developers across India through hackathons, bootcamps, hands-on builder workshops, university outreach, and community-led events.

These programs supported the creation of 692 Stellar developer projects and helped onboard more than 1,700 developers into the Stellar ecosystem. Rise In also helped grow Stellar’s local ambassador network to 43 active ambassadors, strengthening long-term community engagement across the country.

Rise In supports the operation and growth of the Stellar Ambassador Program in India by helping recruit local community leaders, organize developer events, and keep builders active after they complete technical programs.

Together, these efforts have helped establish one of India’s largest Stellar developer communities and created clear pathways for developers to continue building through grants, hackathons, community programs, and ecosystem funding opportunities.

Creating a Founder Funnel in India

Rise In has established one of the strongest founder and builder funnels in India through its residency programs.

These 5–7 day immersive residencies bring together high-potential founders and developers from across the country, helping them transform ideas and prototypes into market-ready MVPs through mentorship, collaboration, and ecosystem support.

The program serves as a gateway to grants, incubation opportunities, and long-term ecosystem participation. To date, more than 30 projects launched through these residencies are live across multiple ecosystems, with teams continuing to build and scale their ventures.

From Learning to Building

Rise In’s core focus is simple: developers should not stop at learning. They should build.

Across Rise In programs, developers have created more than 30,000 projects, and more than 22,000 developers have successfully built at least one Web3 project. This makes Rise In one of the most output-driven Web3 talent communities operating in India and globally.

Every Rise In program is free for developers. The model is funded through partnerships with blockchain foundations, ecosystems, and technology organizations that need skilled builders. As a result, developers can access education, mentorship, hackathons, grants, and career opportunities without paying to participate.

Strengthening India’s Role in Global Web3

India is becoming a key source of developers for the global blockchain industry. Rise In plans to continue expanding its India presence through new university partnerships, larger hackathon circuits, ambassador-led communities, ecosystem-specific training programs, and builder acceleration opportunities.

With nearly 70,000 registered developers in India, strong partnerships with leading blockchain ecosystems, and a track record of helping developers build real projects, Rise In has established India’s largest Web3 talent community and continues to connect Indian builders with opportunities across the global Web3 ecosystem.
