27-year-old entrepreneur Pearl Kapur has etched his name in history as India’s youngest billionaire, propelled by the rapid success of his tech startup, Zyber 365.
Founded merely nine months ago, Zyber 365 has swiftly climbed the ranks in the tech industry, disrupting retail and attaining unicorn status with an impressive valuation of ₹9,800 Crore.
Established in May 2023, Zyber 365, headquartered in London with operations in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, has been lauded as the fastest unicorn in India and Asia, reaching a valuation of $1.2 billion within just three months of its inception.
The driving force behind this success is none other than Pearl Kapur, the Founder and CEO, who commands a staggering 90 percent share in the company, translating to an extraordinary net worth of $1.1 billion.
Kapur, an MSC Investment Banking graduate following the CFA Pathway at Queen Mary University of London, has emerged as a trailblazer in the realm of Web3 technology.
His vision for Zyber 365 goes beyond mere success; he envisions a future where the amalgamation of groundbreaking technologies like blockchain, AI, and cybersecurity, coupled with sustainable practices, empowers the masses, leading to what he terms as Globalization 3.0.
The recent success of Zyber 365 is further underscored by the infusion of $100 million in Series A funding.
Notably, 8.3% of this substantial investment comes from the SRAM & MRAM Group, an agrarian company that astutely recognized the immense potential harbored by Zyber 365.
Before Zyber 365 gained prominence, Pearl Kapur navigated his entrepreneurial journey with roles as a Financial Advisor at AMPM Store and a Business Advisor for Antier Solutions. His journey also includes the founding of Billion Pay Technologies Pvt Ltd in February 2022.
Pearl Kapur’s rise to prominence as the youngest billionaire in India is not just a testament to his entrepreneurial acumen but also a reflection of his commitment to fostering technological innovation for a sustainable and empowered future.
