The pledge comes after Shroff’s IBC Group was approached by a well-known US real estate developer Burkhan World Investment to have more adaptation of the blockchain technology in the city of Miami specifically for real estate projects.
The US-based real estate developer has over $1 bn in real estate projects in Miami and they plan to be one of the leading technology hubs in the country.
