Mohammed Roshan reposted thisMohammed Roshan reposted thisIndia's financial landscape is experiencing a structural evolution as digital payments and e-commerce rewrite traditional investment habits. Moving beyond physical assets and fixed deposits, a new fintech-driven rewards ecosystem is allowing consumers to turn everyday digital spending into passive investments. By returning a percentage of routine expenditures as fractional units of Bitcoin (Sats) or Digital Gold, this low-barrier micro-investment model acts as an entry ticket for first-time and non-urban investors, effectively transforming routine consumption into a wealth-garnering strategy and a hedge against inflation.

Mohammed Roshan shared this1,000 downloads felt like a miracle. 10,000 felt like a milestone. 100,000 felt like a movement. 1,000,000 feels like a mandate. GoSats - The simplest onramp to Digital Assets in India has crossed 1 Million (10 Lakh) downloads on Android. We doubled in the last 6 months. Every swipe, every transaction, every sat earned is a small step in changing how India builds wealth. To our team, our users, our investors - thank you. The journey is just beginning.

Mohammed Roshan reposted thisMohammed Roshan reposted thisNo one in my family had ever heard of Figma. Or Series A. Or Y-Combinator. The career options were: → Government job → Engineering → Disappointment I chose option 4. I dropped out. Moved to Bangalore at 17. No degree. No network. No backup plan. Joined a 6-person startup called GoSats - The simplest onramp to Digital Assets in India My parents couldn’t explain what I did to my relatives. This was 4 years ago. Yesterday, we closed a $5M Series A! Here’s the design lesson nobody talks about from startup life: → Speed usually wins. For the first year, there was zero consistency. I shipped screens in 4 hours that real users touched the next morning. I hated some of them. Users didn’t. That taught me more than any degree ever could. Growing up in Basti, UP, dropping out felt like the end of my story. No one from my town had done this. There was no template for “small-town UP kid becomes startup designer.” So I wrote one myself. :) Forever grateful to Karan Agarwal for believing in me when there was no reason to. To Mohammed Roshan and the entire GoSats team for guiding me, pushing me, and making me better every single day. And yes, even for celebrating my 18th birthday at the office. :P If you’re reading this from a small town wondering if it’s worth the risk: It is. Your speed is your superpower. The world doesn’t need your degree. It needs your hunger. Repost if you know someone from a small town who needs to hear this.

Mohammed Roshan reposted thisMohammed Roshan reposted this🚨Inc42 Exclusive🚨 Bitcoin rewards startup GoSats - The simplest onramp to Digital Assets in India has raised $5 Mn (about ₹47 Cr) in its Series A funding round led by US-based VC firm Konvoy, with participation from existing backer Y Combinator Community and Web3-focused Taisu Ventures.👇 The startup plans to utilise the fresh funds to accelerate user acquisition with an aim to increase its user base to 1 Mn in the coming years from 1.5 Lakh currently. It will also use the capital to expand its product suite, improve its tech stack, especially through AI-driven personalisation for wealth management and shopping recommendations, and expand its team. Founded in 2020 by Mohammed Roshan and Roshni Aslam, GoSats initially provided cashback in Bitcoin for online shopping. However, it has evolved over the years to include a wider range of products like gold, gift vouchers, merchandise and other loyalty programmes. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://4-2.co/4c3FUil #Inc42 #news #Startups #Startupfundings #Bitcoins

Mohammed Roshan shared thisI am excited to announce that GoSats - The simplest onramp to Digital Assets in India has raised $5M in Series A funding. Led by Konvoy, with participation from Y Combinator and select angel investors. This funding will help us go deeper into bridging everyday spending with real asset ownership. GoSats has distributed over ₹50 Crores in Bitcoin and Gold rewards to consumers in India. Not through trading. Not through speculation. Just regular people spending. We partnered with Flipkart, Google, and others to make wealth creation as simple as swiping a card. India spends $2 trillion a year on consumer goods. Most of that spending creates zero long-term value. We're changing that. Every coffee, every grocery run, every rent payment - intelligently building a portfolio in the background. https://lnkd.in/gRT_XtUh

Together with Kate Yang, PhD, Kathleen Lehman and Deepak Swarup, I hosted a workshop for Stanford GSB Executive Education alumni at Stanford University Graduate School of Business. We explored how breathing directly impacts long-term health advantages, the quality of decision-making under pressure, and the shift in performance from reactive to focused. Great conversations, strong community, and we wrapped up the evening with dinner in Palo Alto.

Mohammed Roshan liked thisMohammed Roshan liked thisMonday night at the Hollywood premiere of Michael, I was struck by something rare -- every now and then, a performance does more than entertain - it revives a presence, a pulse, an era. Jafar Jackson does exactly that. Stepping into the immense legacy of Michael Jackson is no small feat. It requires far more than talent. It demands discipline, responsibility, and deep immersion. Knowing that Jafar spent two years studying and absorbing 'everything Michael' in order to do justice to such an iconic role makes the performance even more moving. Jafar brings not just amazing artistry, but intensity, devotion and heart. I was equally struck by what it takes to bring something like this to life. Epics in any walk of life are rarely linear. They are shaped over years -- through setbacks, rethinks, pivots, and persistence -- before finally arriving at a culmination worthy of the story they are trying to tell. And experiencing it all at Dolby Live, with the immersion of Dolby Atmos, made the music feel almost real and deeply felt. It gave the entire evening an added emotional force and unmatched intensity. What stayed with me most was this -- great art can belong to generations, even as the artist may remain complicated. The film does a powerful job of separating the enduring legacy of the music from the person behind it -- while still portraying, beautifully, what it took to create the legendary body of work that could move the world across decades and generations. Sharing special moments...still carrying the energy of an unforgettable evening. Can’t wait for the world to experience the magic of Michael again. #Michael #Jafar Jackson #MichaelJackson #HollywoodPremiere #Storytelling #Legacy #Cinema #DolbyLive #DolbyAtmos Lionsgate

As a long-term user of Indian crypto exchange Bitbns, I'm facing a situation that should concern every digital asset investor in the country. I've been a customer since 2018, actively trading on the platform. I’ve deposited a total of ₹1,37,100 and have successfully withdrawn funds in the past, with my last withdrawal being in June 2021. I even trusted the platform enough to transfer my crypto assets there from Koinex when it shut down. Today, my crypto wallet has tens of thousands of dollars, but my funds are inaccessible. Here's why: * INR Withdrawals Have Stopped: The system to withdraw Indian Rupees appears broken. While you can initiate a request, it is never processed. * Crypto Transfers Are Blocked: Bitbns does not allow the transfer of crypto assets to any other exchange, in India or abroad. This leaves users with no way to move their own assets off the platform. This situation raises a critical question. The Indian government rightfully collects taxes on all crypto profits, treating it as a legitimate financial activity. What is the accountability of the government , exchange and its founders when users cannot access their own funds? If the government can tax our gains, it must also implement regulations that hold platforms responsible and protect investors. What are your thoughts on this regulatory gap? #CryptoIndia #InvestorProtection #Bitbns #CryptoRegulation #FinanceMinistry #SEBI #FounderAccountability #DigitalAsset Financial Times Narendra Modi Nirmala Sitharaman Bennett Coleman & Co.

Mumbai-based Kiwi, the virtual credit card startup founded by Anup Agrawal, Mohit Bedi, and Siddharth Mehta, is all set to raise around $23 million in its Series B funding round. The round will be led by Vertex Ventures with participation from existing backers Stellaris Venture Partners and Nexus Venture Partners, pushing Kiwi’s valuation to over $100 million (post-money). Launched in 2022, Kiwi enables users to make UPI payments via virtual RuPay credit cards, seamlessly linking with apps like Google Pay and PhonePe. Backed by partnerships with Axis Bank and NPCI, Kiwi is pioneering the credit on UPI journey and positioning itself as a front-runner in India’s fast-growing digital payments ecosystem. This milestone reflects not only investor confidence but also the wider market shift as RBI and NPCI push for broader adoption of credit on UPI—a game-changer for millions of Indian consumers. With competitors like slice, OneCard, and Uni in the space, Kiwi’s focus on creating a full-stack solution for credit on UPI makes this an exciting story to watch in the coming months. #fintech #startups #fundingnews #venturecapital #digitalpayments #upi #creditonupi #fintechindia #founders #startupstory #mumbaistartups #digitalindia #growthstory

India to Launch ARC Token Stablecoin Backed by Government Securities Key Facts India is preparing to launch a new stablecoin called the ARC Token denominated in Indian Rupees and fully backed by Indian government securities The token is being developed in collaboration between Polygon Labs (via its co-founder Sandeep Nailwal) and fintech firm Anq Unlike private stablecoins tied to the U.S. dollar (such as USDT or USDC)ARC will be backed one to one by Indian Government Securities or Treasury Bills meaning each token in circulation corresponds to an equivalent amount of sovereign asset reserve The design aims to keep liquidity within India’s economy (rather than sending it offshore) creating a digital instrument anchored in the Indian financial ecosystem The architecture foresees a twin-rupee framework the Digital Rupee issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will serve as the settlement layer while ARC will act as a programmable layer built by regulated private players ARC token issuance occurs only when government securities are purchased, thereby supporting government financing without new taxation and linking demand for ARC to demand for sovereign debt Some in the crypto community are sceptical, arguing that calling the token “sovereign-backed” may be marketing, and pointing out that the model is highly centralized thus, in their view more like a digital rupee than a decentralized stablecoin Overview & Implications India’s move to launch the ARC Token marks a significant step in the evolution of its digital finance ecosystem By backing a stablecoin with sovereign assets the government in partnership with private tech firms is creating a digital currency that is designed to reflect the value of the rupee while remaining within the domestic regulatory and economic domain. This model differs from traditional stablecoins often US-dollar backed and issued by private companies in that the underlying reserve is composed of Indian government securities thereby anchoring the instrument firmly to the Indian economy. The issuer claims this will help ensure stability transparency and national liquidity retention

Fundraising in 2026 as a second-time founder? India’s VC ecosystem isn’t just rebounding. It’s recalibrating toward execution certainty. LPs want DPI. Funds want proof. Repeat founders are benefiting. The mood for 2026: conviction over charisma. In partner meetings, one question comes early: “Have they built before?” Repeat founders signal: Execution memory. Pattern recognition. Faster trust. Below are India-focused funds that consistently back second-time founders, grouped by stage. Pre-seed to Seed • Jungle Ventures (India presence): First Cheque, repeat-friendly • Neon Fund (Bengaluru): strong serial founder bias • Good Capital (Delhi): repeat founders as edge • Axilor Ventures (Bengaluru): exit-backed builders • 100X.VC (Mumbai): serial founder pattern • Kae Capital (Mumbai/Bengaluru): backs repeat operators • TDV Partners (India): repeat in core thesis • Blume Ventures (Mumbai): multiple 2nd-time founders • Kalaari Capital (Bengaluru): experienced builder tilt • Stellaris Venture Partners (Bengaluru): strong repeat preference Seed to Series B • Z47 (Mumbai): repeat-heavy pipeline • 3one4 Capital (India): several 2nd-time Series A bets • Chiratae Ventures (Bengaluru): serial founders across stages • Fireside Ventures (India): second-venture consumer founders • Saama Capital (India): serial operator backing • Nexus Venture Partners (India): next-venture founders • IvyCap Ventures (Mumbai): repeat founders visible • Java Capital (India): thesis includes 2nd-time founders • Arkam Ventures (India): experienced founder rounds Series B+ • Accel in India: stated repeat-founder focus • Peak XV Partners (India): strong serial representation • Lightspeed India: repeat-builder thesis • Elevation Capital (India): experienced founders favoured Bottom line If you’re a second-time founder raising in 2026, this may be your strongest capital window yet. Fresh funds. Disciplined underwriting. Clear preference for execution history. If I've missed out any venture funds backing second time founders, please add to the comments below!

I recently appeared on #CryptoCorner on CNBC-TV18 where I spoke with Manisha Gupta about some key developments shaping the crypto landscape in India and across the globe. Some of the points we covered: 1. CoinDCX's Growth: We recently crossed 2 Crore+ users. Interestingly, the average age of our users has shifted from 25 to 31, showing maturing participation. But crypto is not yet a chai break or dinner table conversation in India. We are still at a very early stage of growth. 2. Portfolio Diversification: A comparison between equity, gold, and crypto, and the unique role each plays in building a balanced investment portfolio. 3. Golden Opportunity in Crypto: Why the current market environment makes this a very good opportunity to enter or continue investing in crypto 4. India’s Position: While India has been slightly behind in crypto adoption, it has the potential to leapfrog with the right policies and ecosystem support. Do watch and share your feedback with us! w/Sumit Gupta, Neeraj Khandelwal, Rohit Jain.
