About

I'm Akathya. Ram Akathya. I build things from scratch in spaces where no playbook exists.Right now, I lead UHNI & Institutional Investments at CoinSwitch, India's largest crypto platform (25M+ users). Built CoinSwitch Alpha from into a premium vertical serving family offices, UHNIs, and institutional investors who are making their first structured move into digital assets.The work is part strategy, part trust-building, part translation. I sit across the table from people who've built generational wealth and help them think about an asset class most of their peers haven't touched yet. That requires understanding how the 0.01% think, build, and protect capital. Before CoinSwitch, I spent time in the VC ecosystem at Hashed Emergent, where I handled business development for India Blockchain Week and worked closely with founders building in Web3. Before that, I was in the CEO's Office at Orbia, a multi-billion dollar company, collaborating directly with leadership on strategy and cross-functional execution. Somewhere in between, I also filed a patent (Application No. 202441101552) for a low-cost terrain-adaptive mobility device. That project taught me something I carry into every role: the best solutions come from constraints, not abundance. I'm driven by one question: how do you take a founder's vision and turn it into a system that scales? If you're building something ambitious and think that question matters, I'd enjoy the conversation.
