성함과 이전 경력, 그리고 현재 회사에서 맡고 계신 직책을 소개해 주시겠어요? 또한, 귀사의 사명과 고객에게 제공하는 서비스가 무엇인지 간략히 설명해 주시기 바랍니다.

My name is Krishna Teja Nemani, and I am the founder and CTO of Onmeta - India’s leading fiat on and off-ramp solution. We provide modular widget & API solutions to web3 companies to simplify the user experience of buying and selling cryptocurrencies on their platforms. Prior to this, I was Director of Engineering at Rapido, where I helped scale the engineering team to support its now $800M business.

창립 이후 귀사는 어떻게 성장하고 변화해 왔으며, 앞으로의 계획은 무엇입니까?

Since Onmeta launched 1.5 years ago, we now have ~80 clients who are using our solution and we do a combined ~$5M in quarterly volumes for these ~80 companies. We plan to continue to add more product features and clients to our portfolio and triple the quarterly volume to ~$15M in the next 12 months.

What inspired you to develop Onmeta, and how did you conceive of the idea?

We wanted to build for India when no one was. India has a huge potential crypto market, and all the existing fiat on-ramp solutions only offered cards as payment methods supported. These payment methods have virtually no traction in India as people love to use locally popular payment methods. Hence, we developed a solution to support these payment methods for on-ramping and off-ramping to and from crypto.

Can you provide insight into Onmeta’s progress by sharing any metrics or milestones indicating its traction?

Onmeta opens up India’s crypto market for global web3 companies like Ledger, Axie Infinity, DeFi Kingdoms, Sushi, etc.
