Commenting on the appointment, Mr. Neeraj Khandelwal, Co-founder, CoinDCX said “I believe Web3 and Blockchain technology will save billions of dollars for the common man and generate powerful income opportunities as Crypto has a lot of applications for consumers. Gaurav with his extensive experience in building consumer-friendly products will focus on building on the DeFi space which has the potential to financially empower billions. We are delighted to have Gaurav on board when CoinDCX has embarked on a new chapter of growth and innovation”.
“I am happy to join the CoinDCX family. The world of Web3 and DeFi is in its nascent stages and largely inaccessible by most people due to its complexities. We believe that over the next few years, 100s of millions of users will be interacting with the decentralized blockchain ecosystem. Our goal is to provide a bridge for these customers to access the opportunities safely and easily in this system,” said Mr. Gaurav Arora while commenting on his appointment at CoinDCX.
