Indians have jumped on to the crypto bandwagon in 2021 and since then over 105M Indians own crypto with 350+ Blockchain-backed startups originated in India that year. In the recent years companies have rushed to enter Web3 with the goal to adapt the new technology and stay above the competition when the world shifts toward a fully decentralized reality. As of today, NFT ownership is concentrated in just 0.1% of crypto owners, who represent only 3.9% of the world's population and almost $10 billion has been allocated in DAOs treasury for community management, a 10x from July 2021. Since 2011 I have been exploring the business world globally with the goal to improve technological decision-making processes. As a goal-oriented founder of 3 startups, I have learned successful business management, product development, and even the M&A processes on my own. In September 2012 I successfully exited StatMyWeb.com, a data analytics and statistics platform, and focused on building a SaaS platform in digital marketing and e-commerce space with Supersave and Uprank. I first heard about bitcoin in 2014 when I started dabbling with bitcoin mining around that time. I got deeper into the crypto space in 2016 when I started exploring Ethereum and its fastest growing ecosystem within the Blockchain space. Soon, I expanded my expertise to DAOs, smart contracts, and NFTs. Finally, in 2021 I joined Tykhe Block Ventures, one of the leading blockchain investment funds in India, as an Investment Partner. Since the launch, Tykhe Fund 1.0 brought an impressive +615% with investment in 15+ Web3 and Blockchain Startups. From the May of 2022, we have launched a $30M Investment Fund 2.0 focusing mainly on Web3, Crypto, and Blockchain companies. Portfolio in the new fund includes seed investments in Trust Machines, India's biggest NFT Music platform FanTiger, dWallet Labs among others. As a strategic business leader, I have always had a passion for entrepreneurship and the use of finance in it. In 2020 and 2021 , I was running exosphere - a crypto fund built on the blockchain. It was one of the top 5 DeFi funds for the entirety of 2022 and 2021.
