We are still at the beginning of something huge: CoinDCX founders on the future of crypto

Captivated by the transformative power of blockchain technology and driven by a bold vision of making crypto more accessible to the “masses”, two young IIT Bombay graduates, Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, launched CoinDCX in 2018. What began as an ambitious startup soon became India’s first crypto unicorn. But beyond its valuation, CoinDCX’s journey is a reflection of India’s evolving relationship with crypto—shifting from scepticism to growing acceptance. In this exclusive interview, the founders share insights into their mission, the roadblocks they’ve faced, their vision for Web3, global expansion, and how Indian technology can make its mark on the world.
