Bio
Umesh Kumar Prajapati is the Co-Founder and CEO of SunCrypto, an India-based cryptocurrency exchange he co-founded with Pramod Yadav in June 2021. Under his leadership, SunCrypto has grown into a platform offering spot trading, systematic investment plan (SIP) features for crypto, staking, futures trading, OTC services, and automated bot trading for Indian retail and semi-professional users. Prajapati leads the exchange's strategy, business development, policy advocacy, and expansion within the Indian Web3 ecosystem. SunCrypto has registered with India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) as a reporting entity under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), fulfilling mandatory KYC and AML obligations. The platform has partnered with third-party custody providers and made public claims about user-asset security practices, though the precise scope and limitations of any insurance or custody arrangements should be independently verified before relying on them. Prajapati remains active in his CEO role in 2026, continuing to drive SunCrypto's product roadmap and compliance posture.
