Spent the last couple of weeks meeting people across Bangalore & Bombay. One uncomfortable observation:
Bangalore conversations often felt… recycled.
Same takes. Mostly same references. Almost same analogies in the conversations. Like everyone’s reading the same article on the internet and talking to the same people.
Bombay felt the opposite. Every chat had a spark in my eyes.
I found myself wanting to take notes mid-conversation.
Maybe it’s not the city. Maybe it’s who you meet.
Echo chambers don’t just exist online.

I want to address what happened to Neeraj and me last week. Of course, it was quite shocking to us as well and honestly very disheartening. But today, we want to talk about what actually happened and more importantly, what we’re going to do about it.
On March 21, we were taken into police custody in connection with a fraud complaint. Three days later, on March 24, a Thane court granted us bail, finding that prima facie, no case was made out against us. The fraud at the centre of this complaint was carried out through a fake website - "coindcx.pro" by impersonators who have absolutely no connection to our platform, our systems, or CoinDCX. No money moved through CoinDCX. No transaction occurred on our exchange. The complainant himself confirmed in court that he did not know us and had never met us.
I'll be honest: our experience was deeply unsettling. Not because we doubted the facts -- we knew from the first moment that this had nothing to do with us. But because it made something painfully clear: the ecosystem we operate in doesn't yet have the tools to tell the difference between the people building this industry responsibly and the people exploiting it.
Think about what this precedent means: if a scammer uses your brand, your name, your face in a fake website and defrauds someone, you can be arrested. Not the scammer. You. This Could Happen to Any founder, Any Business.
That has to change.
And we've decided that CoinDCX will lead that change - not with words, but with actions. Today, we are announcing Digital Suraksha Network (D.S.N.) - a ₹100 crore commitment from CoinDCX to build the cyber safety infrastructure that India's digital finance ecosystem needs but does not yet have. This is not a crypto problem. This is a problem across any company which has a digital footprint.
Here's what we're building:
→ 24x7 WhatsApp helpline: free for everyone, not just CoinDCX users, to verify links, platforms, and offers before you transact.
→ Open Fraud Intelligence API: We have already documented 1,200+ fraudulent websites impersonating CoinDCX. That data sat inside our systems. Not anymore. We're building an open API to share this intelligence in real time and inviting every exchange, fintech, bank, and digital lender to contribute. A shared immune system for India's digital finance ecosystem.
→ Cyber Safety Infrastructure for Law Enforcement: The Digital Suraksha Network will fund training programmes for state cybercrime cells on blockchain forensics and digital asset tracing.
→ "Caution Before Transaction": a nationwide initiative to give every Indian the tools to participate in digital finance safely.
We know that no single company can solve this. Fraud networks are sophisticated, cross-border, and evolving daily. Nowadays, they make use of AI that makes them exponentially harder to catch. But someone has to start to fix this problem from the root.
We are putting ₹100 crore on the table because the ecosystem cannot afford to wait. I am asking every platform, every regulator, and every Indian who participates in digital finance to join us.
We want to ensure that anyone building startups in India like us can do so with confidence, and not with fear.

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 12 hours?
> A CEO of a $200 billion company said on camera that 35% of new grads won't find jobs. He didn't even flinch saying it.
> Meta made $165 billion last year and is still firing 15,000 people because apparently record profit isn't profitable enough.
> Some random guy in Florida sold his entire house in 5 days using ChatGPT. No real estate agent, no commission, no experience. Just vibes and a $20 subscription.
> A man in Australia cured his dying dog's cancer with AI after every single vet told him there was nothing left to do. Built a custom vaccine from his couch.
> The guy who created Uber and left 300,000 taxi drivers broke is back. Building robots now because apparently ruining one industry wasn't enough.
> Tinder wants access to your camera roll. Your drunk photos, your 3am notes app meltdowns, your deleted selfies. They're calling it a "vibe check."
> Naval, the man who made hundreds of millions investing in software, just said software is dead. Four words and the entire industry felt it.
> And Anthropic removed the limit on how long their AI can think and then doubled everyone's usage for free. Because when the product is addictive enough you give the first taste away.
All of that happened today. Not this week, not this quarter. Today. A random Saturday in March.
This is worse than you being on meth.

We're recruiting at @temple. At Temple, we are building the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes. A device that measures what no other wearable in the world measures, with a level of precision that doesn't exist yet. To build it, we need people who are obsessive about both the craft and the category. Engineers who are also athletes. People who will wear what they build, and hate it until it's perfect. Roles we're hiring for: 🟠 Analog Systems Engineers, Electronics Design Engineers 🟠 Embedded Systems Engineers — low-level HW bring-up, embedded signal and image processing, embedded AI 🟠 Design and Validation Engineers — sensors, actuators, battery, antenna, optics 🟠 CMF Engineers, Adhesive Materials Engineers 🟠 Sensor Algorithms Engineers — estimation theory, sensor fusion 🟠 Deep Learning Engineers — ML model development for physiological metrics 🟠 Computational Neuroscientists 🟠 BCI Engineers — real-time EEG/EMG acquisition and processing 🟠 Neural Decoding Researchers — brain activity to semantic mapping 🟠 Computer Vision Engineers — facial microexpression, subvocal muscle detection 🟠 Neuroimaging ML Engineers — multimodal sensor fusion 🟠 Last but not the least, product managers who work through Figma without needing a designer to hold their hand Important – we are building for people who push their bodies to the edge. We want to be those people, not just serve them. So only people who take fitness seriously, and have body fat <16% (men) and 26% (women) should apply. If you're not there yet but will commit to getting there in three months, you can apply too; but you'll be on probation until you are. Write to build@temple.com with your core skill as the subject line. Come find your tribe.

Good write up, not only on Gold loans. It is raw, as @nitinmisra usually is. He nails it at this.
