More about Rohas Nagpal
I come from a military family so I had the great fortune of growing up in many cities and attending many schools.
I started my career in the early 1990s as a hacker. Those were the days of Solaris, FreeBSD, Windows NT & Novell NetWare.
My life-long love affair with Cryptography started when I chanced upon David Chaum's work on blind digital signatures and the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Menezes, Oorschot & Vanstonemy.
Cyber crime investigation & more...
In 1999, I co-founded Asian School of Cyber Laws.
Over the next 16 years, I worked in cyber investigation & cyberlaw. I proudly count some of the best investigators & lawyers amongst my students. I have also had the privilege of assisting the Govt. of India in framing draft rules under the Information Technology Act.
My work spanned 18 countries and I have investigated cyber crimes & data breaches for hundreds of organizations across many sectors - from aerospace & banking to law enforcement, pharma & shipping.
I also had the privilege of leading the teams that developed "Collaborative Online Investigation Network" & the "ASCL Volatile Evidence Retrieval Tool".
I authored the Cyber Crime Investigation Manual, which has been referred to as a "bible for cybercrime investigators" by the Times of India.
Blockchain & crypto...
I first heard of Bitcoin in 2011, when I was assisting the police in a case involving the drug mafia.
In 2015, I decided to move into the blockchain space.
In 2016, I co-founded Primechain. We also co-founded BankChain - a community of 37 banks plus IBM, Microsoft & Intel. Our core product was a "self-building" blockchain ecosystem with a web app, PWA, and a Blockchain REST API service.
The project went into hibernation in early 2018 after the Reserve Bank of India's ban on crypto.
I continued as a Blockchain Architect for some very interesting projects.
In 2020, after the Supreme Court struck down the RBI ban, I became actively involved with the crypto industry.
My daughters also developed an interest in crypto and so I wrote the "Future Money Playbook" for them. I also developed a Crypto Masterclass with them and my mom as my first students.
To add more logic and math to crypto price predictions, I developed the R.O.H.A.S. Cryptocurrency Valuator.
Currently, I am the Chief Blockchain Architect of the Wrapped Asset Project and am building the Future Money Wallet and the Hybrid Finance (HyFi) Blockchain.
I also conduct the Blockchain ADDS course and Crypto with Rohas.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
Shrijay Sheth
Founder at LegalWiz.in and Hire4Higher Consulting
"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
