Nischal Shetty

Played a central role in founding and scaling WazirX, directing the exchange's product roadmap and public strategy from its inception through a strategic acquisition. Took responsibility for launching customer-facing offerings including peer-to-peer rupee on-ramps and token utility programs tied to WRX, and coordinated airdrops and rewards that expanded retail engagement. Negotiated and managed relationships with partners and acquirers, leading public communications during the Binance acquisition and subsequent integration phases. Drove community outreach and transparency efforts, issuing public statements and roadmaps that influenced user trust and trading activity. Sustained influence on the instrument arose from operational decisions to prioritize P2P liquidity, marketing WRX utility, and steering corporate strategy during cross-border integration, all of which materially affected WRX token adoption and WazirX market footprint in India.
