Sumit Gupta, co-founder of crypto unicorn CoinDCX, grew up in a small village in Madhya Pradesh, near Shivpuri. It was during his IIT Bombay days that Gupta got a small taste of entrepreneurship “Back in 2010 to 2014, there were a lot of startups that were emerging from IIT Bombay. After college hours, I used to go and see how they worked and also reached out to many to work with them — not for the money but to understand what it takes to start a startup and scale it,” Gupta says.
