“Tarun Thadani, the proprietor of a vintage-themed pizza outlet in the posh Worli area of Mumbai, thinks he is making history. On Saturday, his restaurant Kolonial announced that its patrons can pay in bitcoins instead of rupees, thus laying claim to the title of being India’s first eatery to accept the new-age currency. ‘Right now, people are a bit sceptical about bitcoins, but it’s going to become big. I am testing the waters,’ said Thadani, 30, who is a bitcoin owner and a host to several bitcoin meetups at Kolonial. In Bangalore, the technology startup accelerator Microsoft Ventures Accelerator is doing its bit for bitcoin by lending its office space to host the country’s first Bitcoin meetup of 2014.”
