crypto industry veterans, Nischal Shetty (founder of WazirX) and Avinash Shekhar (ex-CEO Zebpay) have launched their new venture, Pi42, the country's first Crypto-INR perpetual futures exchange, which aims to grow as the largest compliant crypto futures platform in the world.

The exchange makes its debut in India, on Wednesday and aims to expand its reach across the key global markets by targeting the existing 30+ million Indian crypto investors over the next 2-3 years.

Nischal Shetty, Co-founder of Pi42, said, «Our objective behind launching Pi42 is to provide Indian investors, who are also a strong believer in alternative assets, with a convenient and new-age crypto futures trading opportunity thereby helping them in fulfilling their financial goals.»
