Founder & CTO of @Mochatradeapp, which gives India’s traders 24/7 perpetual futures on US stocks, commodities and more. Previously founded Meadow, acquired by Autosana (YC S25).
1-2 November. Mumbai.
This!! next wave is tokenization of real assets + agents that can actually use them
the dominant fintech systems still run on slow and fragmented rails with almost no true end-to-end visibility.
in a world where agents and humans work in unison, speed, transparency, and availability are non negotiable
tokenization is what makes it possible
At @ycombinator, we're excited to fund more crypto startups solving financial needs including AI capital raising, stablecoins, trading, and agents.
Here's our latest crypto request for startups. Our next application deadline is Monday.

If you’re a trader in India and you want exposure to Nvidia’s upside tonight, how do you do it? You can use a US-focused brokerage app, make an international bank transfer (that can take several days and a stack of paperwork) and then buy some NVIDIA stock. If you’re a more active trader, though, and looking to move more quickly, the trade has come and gone by then. Or - you complete your KYC, connect a bank account over India’s UPI, fund your account in rupees within a few minutes, and then buy perpetual futures that trade 24/7.
That is what @Mochatradeapp is building. I am glad to see more fintechs on modern rails giving people outside the US a much easier way into our markets. Mochatrade has now raised $5.5M, with our team at @CoinFund leading this latest round. Congrats @ichooserain @theblackmand and @_ParthVader_, glad to back you!

EXCLUSIVE: Y Combinator-backed Mochatrade raises $5.5 million to offer US stock perpetuals to Indian traders theblock.co/news/deals/2026-…
i've built products used by millions, but always had this itch to build something of my own.
so last december, i quit my job and took the plunge.
reconnected with @theblackmanda and @ichooserain, friends i've known for almost a decade, and we ended up building @Mochatradeapp to solve a problem we'd faced ourselves - trading global markets from India, 24/7.
fast forward to today -
> raised $5.5M seed, led by @coinfund along with @ycombinator @cbventures and some incredible investors
> 25,000+ people on our waitlist
> got FIU registered!
still feels a little unreal !!
couldn't be more excited to be building this with my friends and an incredible team
and to everyone staying up all night, caffeinated, just to trade US markets -
maybe it's time the markets stayed awake for you instead ☕️

The desire to invest in the best companies is globally distributed, but the opportunity to do so is not. Excited to work closely with @ichooserain, @theblackmanda and @_ParthVader_ to open US markets to the world!
