I thought to share this quick post with you!

Rare moment where India has both the first-mover advantage and the ecosystem depth to shape global standards:

  1. India has a huge opportunity to lead this space for Digital Assets, Stablecoins, cryptocurrency regulation and New FinanceTech innovations (DeFi + TradFi)
  2. We're already a powerhouse in Web3 talent, ranking 2 globally in blockchain developers
  3. Unlike our SaaS journey where we followed global trends, Indian founders are already leading innovation with significant presence in top 20 blockchain protocols
  4. The intersection of DeFi and TradFi presents a massive opportunity, particularly given India's robust digital payments infrastructure and fintech ecosystem

India: Do we want to follow or lead?
