About Me

Bibin Babu - Professional Photo

Journey from Kerala to Global Leadership

Born and raised in a humble, lower middle-class family in Kerala, I learned early on that circumstances don’t define destiny. From the start, I was fascinated by how technology, ideas, and capital could transform lives, and at 19, I began my journey into innovation and investment. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to building ecosystems where technology, culture, and creativity converge. My path in Web3 and decentralized finance is driven by a mission to make advanced technology accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background or financial status.

At the same time, I believe the future of nations lies in the strength of their culture and heritage. That’s why I work to reimagine India’s timeless design, fashion, and craftsmanship as part of a global creative economy. Alongside these, I actively support ambitious founders, having invested in 25+ startups whose ideas have already touched over 1 million lives worldwide.

My journey is about more than business; it’s about designing systems that last, where money, culture, and creativity reinforce each other to shape a more inclusive and impactful future.
