The read
SummaryBusiness operations lead at Credo, a crypto prop desk, and a trader. I've been in markets since 2019, first in options on US and Indian indices, then full time in crypto derivatives on Credo's desk from 2022. In 2025 I moved into running the firm's operations and kept trading.
Before markets I co-founded a grocery company in India, grew it to $2M ARR and 70 staff, and sold it in 2019. I hold an MSc in Entrepreneurial Studies from Royal Holloway, University of London, and a bachelor's degree in information technology.
At Credo I own what the firm reads every morning and what the market sees of it: the daily briefing every trader starts the day with, the X account (3K followers, 610K impressions in the past year), Credo Wire (about 500 subscribers in its first three months, all organic), the investor pipeline and the research programme. I report to one of the most respected and widely followed traders in crypto, and have traded alongside many of the industry's veterans. I'm the desk's go-to analyst, and I know the product from the trader's chair.

Desk notes
Selected workCredo's market intelligence
The desk's view of the market goes out in three forms: an internal briefing every morning, Credo's X account, and Credo Wire, a public real-time news feed on Telegram. I write the briefing and run the X account myself, and lead the small trader team behind the Wire. All of the audience growth has been organic.
- Daily briefing
- Headlines, ETF flows, breadth, gainers and losers, and the day's catalysts on one card. Read by every trader before the open; a public edition posts on X.
- Credo on X
- 610K impressions, 7.9K engagements and 2.4K active followers out of 3K in the past year, with record follower growth in the last month.
- Credo Wire
- Real-time headlines from the desk's tooling, often ahead of AGGR and Tree News. About 500 Telegram subscribers three months after launch.
Research for TradFi readers
Long-form pieces of 3,000 to 5,000 words that explain crypto-native instruments through traditional finance analogies, for the institutions Credo wants to reach. The first, out in October 2026, looks at pre-IPO perpetual futures on Hyperliquid: how they track sentiment and direction ahead of a listing, and why volatility rises as they converge with the exchange's indicative price.
- Process
- A brief agreed with the team first, then a sourced research file, then drafting with charts built from verified on-chain data.
- Short form
- Months of analysis threads and market nuggets on Credo's X account, which the long-form pieces build on.
Footnote · personal execution strategy, own account
A strategy I designed for my own trading. It holds inventory in coins I'm bullish on, with resting bids and offers sized to recent volatility, aiming to keep most of the upside with a much smaller drawdown than simply holding. Early numbers from a few months of live trading, annualised from daily returns. It hasn't run long enough for these to count as a track record, so treat them as indicative.
