WazirX is India's top rated cryptocurrency exchange. We've built the world's first auto matching P2P engine that helps our users with Fiat <> Crypto conversion in a faster, cheaper and safer manner.

Our current goal is to solve the Fiat <> Crypto conversion problem globally. Having solved it for India with millions of dollars worth of trades each month, we're now setting our eyes on other countries around the world where users are still facing challenges with converting their fiat currency into crypto and vice versa.

Specialties: I specialize in building highly scalable, fault tolerant, distributed systems for mission critical applications. My current focus is on building highly scalable blockchain / distributed ledger systems so we can solve one of humanities most difficult problems: a stable global monetary system.

My interest in AI and chess lead to the creation of the strategy game Arimaa, and the Arimaa Challenge. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arimaa for more info.
