CTO & Co-Founder, Auro Digital

Auro Digital emerged from Diginex—one of the pioneers in the institutional crypto space founded in 2017 and the first to list on Nasdaq (Ticker: EQOS/DGNX) with SEC backing. Auro acquired Diginex Access in 2020 and entered into a strategic joint venture with Broadridge (NYSE: BR), bringing together world-class TradFi technology with digital asset innovation.

Auro Digital delivers a unified Order (OMS) $\rightarrow$ Execute (EMS) $\rightarrow$ Manage (PMS) $\rightarrow$ Invest (IMS) platform tailored for institutional trading desks, hedge funds, family offices, and asset managers. The platform integrates with 100+ centralized exchanges, 120+ DEXs, OTC desks, brokers, and custodians—delivering multi-venue best execution across EVM and non-EVM chains.
