This is an eye wash, if they really are supporting bitcoin they can rather contribute to the bitcoin/altcoin economy in India by opening a bitcoin ATM or even accepting bitcoin for services or making bitcoin more popular in India than opening a centre on "blockchain technology"
Everyone wants a bit of the technology to make their profits, yet nobody wants to contribute to the development of the existing product that uses the technology. Mphasis is not going to overtake other companies in the field of blockchain technology and it will all be released to the public for free anyway.
Maybe they are developing "proprietary" (read: more money) technology that they can sell to some of their clients for few million dollars when the same technology will pretty much available free of cost as a open source bitcoin protocol.
The idea behind blockchain is not to register a million more IP (Intellectual properties) but rather make these overlying financial technology platforms easily accessible to the average person and at a very low cost compared to currently available banking models.
On a similar note RBI sees a use for blockchain to control accounting ledgers and black money in India. These guys never grasp what blockchain is all about, nobody using the blockchain needs RBI to control anything.
The idea behind blockchain is to make incompetent organisations like RBI and banks redundant.

In the end, they are a software services company. Opening a bitcoin ATM would not be in keeping with their core competence. We should look at new companies to explore possibilities in the Bitcoin world.

Mphasis sets up Centre of Excellence for Blockchain technology
http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/mphasis-sets-up-centre-of-excellence-for-blockchain-technology-116072001058_1.html
IT services and solutions provider Mphasis on Wednesday said it has set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Blockchain based solutions at its Bangalore headquarters. With this centre, the company aims to conduct research, rapid prototyping, co-creation of use cases and IP creation on blockchain technology and platforms.
Blockchain discards the traditional process of the ledger being owned and being accessible only by a single institution and puts in place a distributed ledger, which allows for a participatory model. According to a recent report by PwC, banks and other financial institutions are looking to implement blockchain to improve the efficiency of their legacy systems. This technology, according to the report, can improve operational efficiencies in real-time fund transfers across borders by eliminating business correspondent inefficiencies.
