Giottus Turns 7: Celebrating Journey of Trust, Growth, and Purpose

Seven years ago, Giottus set out to build something India hadn’t seen yet — a crypto platform rooted in trust, transparency, and simplicity. Founded in November 2017 and launching for trade in April 2018, we entered the space at a time of uncertainty, when belief in crypto was limited and regulation unclear.

Since then, that original mission — to make crypto accessible, trusted, and rewarding for every Indian — has guided every decision, product, and partnership. As we mark seven years of that journey, we’re proud of the foundation we’ve built — and even more excited about what’s ahead.

“When we started Giottus, the goal was never just to build an exchange — it was to build trust in a new financial future,” said Vikram Subburaj, CEO and co-founder.

“Seven years in, we’re more committed than ever to delivering a world-class experience for Indian investors, built on transparency, security, and simplicity,” added Arjun Vijay, COO and co-founder.

Built in India, for India

From the outset, we recognized that Indian users needed more than global platforms could offer — they needed language support, seamless INR access, and round-the-clock service. Giottus became the first exchange to offer regional language support and intuitive on-ramps for Indian rupees.

Today, we’ve served over 1.2 million users across the country. Our platform is known not just for its performance but for putting users first, with real-time support and a relentless focus on trust and transparency.

Innovation That’s Built to Last

Giottus has never chased hype. We’ve built infrastructure and features that stand the test of time — from high-speed trading and staking to SIPs and crypto Fixed Rewards.

We’re proud to be registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of India, a recognition of our commitment to regulatory standards. And through our partnership with BitGo, customer funds are protected with industry-grade custody solutions and insurance coverage — because your peace of mind is non-negotiable.

Educating and Empowering Beyond the Exchange

In recent years, Giottus has taken a leadership role beyond product — investing in crypto education and public awareness.

We’ve conducted training sessions for police departments across India, equipping officers with the tools to handle digital asset investigations. In partnership with Hash Legal, we also published the Handbook for Investigations into Virtual Digital Assets — a step-by-step guide to tackling crypto crime, which enforcement agencies have widely adopted.

Looking Ahead

The journey doesn’t stop here. As we enter our eighth year, we remain focused on scaling our platform, enhancing security, and driving meaningful adoption through education and collaboration.

Our vision is rooted in building a future where every Indian can participate in the crypto economy with confidence and clarity. To our users, team, and partners — thank you for trusting us with your journey. We continue to grow, together!
