You're here for the story. Here it goes-

I was born and brought up in a small city in India where I first hand witnessed disparity between different classes of society. 

In the first few years of my professional career, I tried to bridge those disparities by using the power of finance in catalyzing urban reform. I worked with Governments and Multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank to set up financial institutions committed to developing smart infrastructure in Africa and Southeast Asia.

A firm believer in capital for social good and equitable education for every child, I later helped raise funds from individuals, corporations, and foundations for a global nonprofit. My passion for creating social change drove me towards setting up two non-profit organizations that work towards empowering the underprivileged community. 

In 2019, I was selected as a part of the LGT fellowship cohort- a group of ten changemakers working around the globe to help create social change. In late 2020, I got sold on the promise of decentralization and spent the next year or so building multiple web3 products and communities. The products I've built have won grants from foundations of all major blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and others). I work closely with SuperteamDAO and Makerdock in helping grow the web3 ecosystem.

My vision for the next decade is to build at the frontier of technology and create protocols and structures to take web3 mainstream.

When I am not talking about web3 or sustainable social impact, I am talking about football, rock music, or my cross-country travels. 

Interested in knowing more, ping me on twitter @saxenasaheb and we’ll set up some time to chat.

• dePEST – predictive pest-pressure alerts to prevent crop loss before outbreaks
• Ahan – crop tokenization (e.g., turmeric, black pepper) to unlock new market liquidity
• planet_G – smart, AI-powered circular waste management for urban and rural ecosystems
• TRoFi – a Layer 1 blockchain with embedded Edge AI for secure, scalable agri-fintech

🌱 Our Impact
Our platforms enhance profitability, traceability, and sustainability for both mission-driven enterprises and underserved farming communities. We bridge digital transformation and financial inclusion to build resilient, future-ready ecosystems.
