Dilip jain — Co-Founder
I’ve learned that the best products are built when you stop trying to be right and start trying to understand. Talking to users with genuine curiosity and letting reality shape your thinking is far more powerful than any assumption or framework. I had a front-row seat to this while building at Juspay, joining when the team was under 10 people and scaling products that now power a large part of India’s payments ecosystem. From architecting UPI systems that process millions of transactions daily to contributing to digital public infrastructure initiatives like UPI, AA, OCEN, and Beckn with iSPIRT, I’ve seen what it really takes to build planet-scale systems that work in the real world. This experience shaped my product sense deeply, it taught me that scale is not just about throughput and reliability, but about simplicity, trust and boring consistency. Today, we are applying that same philosophy to Gullak. Gold is a deep-rooted emotion in India, yet it has remained an idle, static asset for centuries, completely devoid of innovation. With Indian households sitting on $5 Trillion of idle gold, there is a massive opportunity to unlock this wealth by making it fully fungible. Just as UPI moved cash from physical wallets to phones, we are now building the rails to ensure every Indian can accumulate and manage their gold balance with a single tap.
