Arpit S. — CEO

As Head of Ecosystem at Aethir, I lead efforts to drive adoption, forge strategic partnerships, and grow strong communities. Aethir is revolutionizing decentralized infrastructure to support the next generation of Web3 and AI applications with powerful GPU compute solutions on-demand. In my previous role as COO at PWR Labs, I focused on the adoption and growth of PWR Chain, a modular and framework-agnostic blockchain designed to empower developers and enterprises. Earlier, as Managing Director for India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East at NEAR Foundation, I was responsible for driving adoption, building long-term partnerships, and enabling vibrant Web3 communities. Before that, I served as Vice President of Global Enterprises at Polygon Technology, where I successfully led the adoption of blockchain use cases, including metaverse, NFTs, DAOs, and supply chain solutions, for enterprise clients. I have a proven track record of driving impactful partnerships and delivering successful outcomes. With a deep understanding of decentralization, scalability, and blockchain technologies like Layer 1, Layer 2, and roll-ups, I am passionate about bringing Web3 to the masses.
