Monk to Wall Street to Blockchain

Meet Anuj Das Gupta, a former Buddhist monk turned blockchain wizard.

Anuj spent ten years living in NYC, building blockchain infrastructure on Wall Street for NASDAQ, and later became CTO at Ubisoft. He’s been quietly shaping the backend of the decentralized world — the kind of person who can explain Smart Transactions and recite the Four Noble Truths in the same breath.

But Anuj isn’t here to hype coins or digital yacht dreams. His mission is to make blockchain useful. Tech that just works, like WiFi. No jargon, no bros, just solid infrastructure that helps real people. Think crypto for people who don’t care about crypto.

He’s curious, witty, and deeply sharp. His story flips the usual crypto narrative on its head, no buzzwords, just a fresh take from someone who’s truly walked between worlds.
