The platform also offers the functionality of tokenising physical assets. This will allow markets to become more efficient and transparent and will extend into what would be the first digital commodities & derivatives exchange coming out of India.

Speaking about the investment, Mihir Shah the co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures said, “Crypto and other digital assets are fast gaining popularity in India; however, many aspiring investors of this asset class still find it difficult to understand the trading in such assets. Because these assets are built on Web3 and pillars of decentralization, the system by nature is designed to be trustless as it is completely automated. Hence, there is a need for a safe, fast and efficient trading platform that can be adopted by enterprises to profit from by enabling digital asset trading. Rooba is addressing this largely untapped market, which we believe will experience exponential growth in the next 24 months.”
