Hyperledger launched the HCSP program in November 2019. The program requires the blockchain technology professionals in an organization to enroll for an online, performance-based test that consists of a set of performance-based problems to be solved in a command line. Only successful professionals securing a minimum pass criterion are awarded the certificate and the organization with multiple certified professionals is recognized as an HCSP.

Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director, Hyperledger, said, “Our Hyperledger Certified Service Provider (HCSP) program is designed to meet the growing demand for implementing Hyperledger-based solutions. As an HCSP, Tech Mahindra is now part of a global network of blockchain experts with the training and proven expertise to deploy Hyperledger DLTs (Distributed Ledger Technology) quickly and efficiently and to ensure ongoing success. Tech Mahindra has already played an active role in developing and deploying Hyperledger technologies, and we look forward to the work they will do as an HCSP."
