By the fact that you are here proves that you are aware of the flexibility and security of blockchain technology. It is a decentralized network technology that is used to provide access to all the peers in the network in almost real-time.

Choosing this booming technology for your company's operations or applications is quite a futuristic decision.
The question arises when you have to choose a company for your new technology implementations in all stages of the operations of your organization.
The companies which do blockchain development come forward to offer perfect solutions to your business requirements. Which one of them to choose? How can you find a blockchain consulting company?
Before we start with the bullet notes, let me give you some clarity over the blockchain consulting company and real blockchain technology company. A real blockchain technology company is a firm creating logic and architecture in the form of a blockchain platform. For example, Ethereum and EOS are blockchain platforms.
On the other hand, a blockchain consulting company is a software development company that develops applications based on the existing blockchain platform according to the requirements of the business. Your expedition for a blockchain company in India will leave you with different paths to take converged at a standing point. This article is going to help you pick one by keen analysis and background research. Read on!
1. Not just the development, look out for support
As long as you carry the idea of technological transition with the blockchain platform, you should be thinking about it in the long term. The companies or individual s offering blockchain consulting services at cheaper prices may look affordable but neither sustainable nor dependable as your business grows.
To look at in the longer term, you should pick a blockchain developer who could also provide you extended support to the application developed. As the applications would be having a decentralized structure, the risk of handling grievances would be so obvious and you definitely need a full-time support system to handle them technically.
It is always better to find a company that offers extended support post-deployment of the application.
This association with the developer will promise you confidence in conducting of your business.
2. Company’s history to client portfolio
If you want to learn about a company, go to their website. If you want to learn about their work, look into their portfolio section.
Check for the company’s approach to developing blockchain applications. See whether they can cater to your requirements well into the practical working application with zero error in the implementation. A blockchain developer should have a keen idea of the cryptography used by the blockchain platforms. A company’s portfolio can help you make a judgment of your choice over the company.
A new company that is doing blockchain development may have skillful teams but no portfolio and the companies with a history of blockchain development may have bad application development history. A portfolio thus will always help you to decide whether they are capable of doing the job smoothly. Tying up with a new company is all at your risk and intelligence of choice.
3. Check for the company’s development process
The software development companies follow different approaches in delivering the applications to their clients which makes them unique in their own ways. So, the development process of the blockchain application for your business is of utmost importance.
If you have a clear idea about your requirement and wanted the software development process to be done in an iterative approach with seasonal reviews, you should be looking for the companies that take requirement specification first and move on to development later once it is finalized.
If you have an even evolving idea or requirement, you should be searching for companies that follow the agile development process with regular sprint reviews for feature additions and modifications. This level of approach is feasible and flexible for companies that follow dynamic requirements at the initial foundation of the application and offer fluidity in future changes.
There are few other companies that can help you from the ideation phase in terms of blockchain platform features and limitations to the deployment. These types of companies could be expensive than the two aforementioned types of companies. It’s your call to make at the end of the day.
Conclusion:
Blockchain consulting companies have sprung up in India so fast with the support of the ‘Make in India’ campaign.
The new encouragement from the government under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ is also contributing to the establishment of new blockchain development companies offering solutions on affordable budgets. Most of them are diligent to prove their skillset and capabilities.
If you are looking for a technological transition, this is the best time.
