Key Contributions

Fiat-to-Crypto Infrastructure for India

Co-built OnMeta's INR on/off-ramp API, allowing Web3 platforms and merchants to integrate UPI-based fiat-crypto conversion without building their own banking and compliance stack.

Stablecoin Cross-Border Payout Rails

Developed a stablecoin-based cross-border payout system enabling global platforms to disburse INR payouts via stablecoin settlement — separating fiat collection, stablecoin transfer, and local payout into a single API flow.

FIU-IND Compliance Framework

Led OnMeta's registration as an FIU-IND reporting entity (Abhibha Technologies Pvt Ltd, REID: VA00032718 — verify on live OnMeta legal pages). Registration covers PMLA reporting obligations, not securities or derivatives licensing.

Southeast Asia Payment Rails

Expanded OnMeta's coverage to the Philippines and Indonesia, adding GCash and QRIS payment methods and supporting cross-border crypto remittance to local fiat currencies.

White-Label VDA Infrastructure

Launched a modular white-label product allowing other companies to offer branded on/off ramps, checkout, and remittance services using OnMeta's API and compliance infrastructure.

Merchant Checkout Solutions

Built checkout infrastructure enabling merchants to accept local payment methods (UPI, GCash) and receive settlement in stablecoins or USD, bridging local payment systems with crypto-native settlement.

Timeline

Pre-OnMeta

Led operations at Rapido, a ride-hailing platform operating in India. Exact title and dates should be verified from direct professional records.

Late 2021 / Early 2022 — OnMeta Founded

Co-founded OnMeta with Krishna Teja Nemani, focusing on building fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat infrastructure for India and Southeast Asia. Some first-party materials specify December 2021 as the founding period.

2022–2023 — Product Development

OnMeta built and launched its fiat on/off-ramp APIs, enabling Web3 applications to integrate INR deposit and withdrawal flows for their users via UPI.

2024–2025 — Southeast Asia Expansion

OnMeta expanded payment-rail coverage to the Philippines (GCash) and Indonesia (QRIS), adding cross-border stablecoin-to-local-fiat payout infrastructure.

2026

OnMeta continues to offer VDA on/off-ramps, cross-border payouts, compliance stack (KYC/AML), white-label infrastructure, and merchant checkout solutions. Geographic expansion to Vietnam and further markets was described as in progress; verify current availability on onmeta.in.
