One of the fast growing global digital business magazine, Insights Success is pleased to feature Harman Puri, an International Blockchain Expert & Professional Consultant and a pioneering influencer in the Blockchain and Web3 domain.
As there was limited mentorship to share, he depended largely on online sources—weblog posts, videos, and tutorials—to guide his learning. Independent study provided him with the foundation of his knowledge, but then there were doubts from other individuals regarding whether blockchain technology would last in the long term.
This lack of support only made him even more determined to prove the doubters wrong. It taught him a lesson in persistence as well, one that would benefit him in dealing with the harsh realities of the business.
Harman entered the Blockchain space in 2018 when the world was slowly realizing the limitations of dealing with data in its centralized form. Like most of the new professionals in IT, he was also able to witness the humongous worth and value of data. He knew the sure-shot prospects of doing things innovative in terms of how data was handled and stored, being fully well aware of the fact that it was a sector that would shape the future.
For most, the allure of a good pay is too strong to resist. But for Harman, there was this moment where he chose to forgo a good pay to do an internship for a blockchain company for less than half the pay.
It took huge courage to sacrifice financial security and explore a business line that was yet not well known.
This bold move not only embarked him on the journey of Blockchain, but also demonstrated his commitment to personal development. By opting for learning over quick success, Harman placed himself at the forefront of a new industry, one that would revolutionize numerous industries.
What really got Harman to dive into Blockchain was the potential use of Blockchain as an alternative to traditional data storage tools. His initial encounter with Blockchain was through an internship programme, where he was introduced to Hyperledger and Corda as a programmer. The permissioned Blockchain space in specific caught his attention, where it was focusing on institutional governance.
His inquisitive and persistent nature has allowed him to create a niche that is exclusive for himself relative to other actors in the blockchain space, and that says a lot about his forward-looking mentality and adaptability.
