As the founder of India’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Nischal Shetty has his finger on the pulse of new trends.
In 2017, after taking more than a week to buy his first bitcoin, he spotted a gap in the market to simplify trades of the then-booming digital currency.
By 2018, he had launched WazirX as a localized cryptocurrency trading platform for his native country India — a business that was later acquired by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange.
Now, he has his eye on the next phase of growth for cryptocurrencies.
