In the latest episode of the ‘Weekly High with LSD show’ with Leslie D’Monte and L Subramanyan, we hosted Ajeet Khurana–a bitcoin and blockchain expert. He is currently a Partner and Global Expert with the Blockchain Founders Fund, and Mentor at MOX (Mobile Only Accelerator)–a global accelerator for cross-border mobile internet, which is operated by the US$855M VC firm SOSV. Among his many other earlier roles, he was also CEO of bitcoin exchange Zebpay in Singapore and Head, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Committee of IAMAI.
