It\u2019s late and the lights are still on at the CoinSwitch office in Bangalore. The smell of coffee hangs in the air and the floor is abuzz with the sound of excited chattering and the clack-clack of fingers typing. Suddenly, the noise dies down. It\u2019s the moment of truth. Months of building, testing and bug quashing come down to this. In the push of a button, our new UI and brand design are live. A smile breaks out on every face. (Well, nearly every face.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
(Disclaimer: No engineers were harmed in the making of the brand new CoinSwitch app)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This moment from November, 2022 is one of my favorite memories from the last 12 months.
\nIt\u2019s been a busy month at CoinSwitch. So much so, that I almost lost sight of how significant this month is. June marks our anniversary, and this year\u2019s our sixth. So this week, we broke convention and made Monday the best day of the week. At CoinSwitch\u2019s 6th birthday bash, we ate, danced the night away and looked back at the amazing years that have gone by.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019re back to preparing the app for all the new products and asset classes we\u2019ll be launching soon, and this is an organization wide effort. For Engineering, Product, Business, Growth, Customer Support and every other function at CoinSwitch. Each of them has a critical role to play in helping these products reach our users.<\/p>\n

Although the party\u2019s done, I\u2019ve still got celebration on my mind. So here are some of our wins from last year. Here\u2019s one: We\u2019ve increased our funding runway to five years! That means our company is ready to face anything the market throws our way. And we can continue to push the pedal on innovation and build products that you will love.The story of how we managed to do this is something I encourage you to read<\/a>. Also, I want to tip my hat to the failures we\u2019ve had on our journey. It is our toughest days that have taught us the most.<\/p>\n

From scaling to one million users within six months of our launch in 2020, to disrupting the market with truly differentiated products like CoinSwitch PRO<\/a>. I am reminded everyday that none of this would have been possible without the conviction, focus and dedication of our exceptional 500+ strong team. For a long time we operated on a shared, yet unspoken mindset. Some people called it the \u2018go-getter\u2019 attitude and others thought of themselves as \u2018obsessed\u2019. Now, we\u2019ve managed to capture this fascinating shared code and distill it into a set of values we all abide by. Our head of HR, Zeeshan has written about what they are and how they came to be, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even as we evolve into a comprehensive investing destination through our upcoming mutual funds and fixed deposits product launches, our loyalty to crypto and our community remains firm. To this end, our Public Policy team continues to play an important role in engaging stakeholdersand the community to spread awareness and bridge the knowledge gap. They were instrumental in putting together a first-of-its-kind Workshop on \u2018Demystifying Web3\u2019, jointly hosted by the Bharat Web3 Association (www.bharatweb3association<\/a>) and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). Read more about the event, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, I\u2019d like to celebrate YOU. Your brickbats (or feedback\ud83d\ude42), your praise, your growth, your trust, your integrity, your belief, your future – it\u2019s made everything we do, everything we want to be, and everything we\u2019ve gone through to get here, worth it. Thank you for standing by us through the past six years. Knowing we\u2019ve played a part in your financial journey, I would go back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n

Now if you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019m going to tuck into a slice of cake from the party earlier this week.<\/p>\n
