Under his leadership, Nium has secured licenses in 40+ markets, scaled to process USD 60+ billion in annual transaction volume, connected 190+ countries, and issues 41+ million card tokens annually. Most recently, recognizing the shift toward on-chain finance, he has driven Nium's expansion into stablecoin infrastructure partnering with the most trusted names in blockchain and built an end-to-end suite of payment capabilities connecting digital assets to real-world payments.

Prajit is an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® finalist, and Nium has been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 list for two consecutive years. He speaks regularly on fintech innovation, digital assets, AI, and the future of global payments. Prajit leads Nium out of the San Francisco office.
