About

I'm Aakash Neeraj Mittal, the Founder of Perpify, where I'm building AI-native market infrastructure for autonomous capital. My journey has been a wild ride—from managing corporate transport fleets at rydS to becoming a full-time crypto trader where I turned a $10k debt into $3.2M in profit. I previously co-founded Density Exchange, India’s first crypto derivatives platform, and I’ve always been driven by the intersection of high-stakes risk and technological innovation. I’m passionate about the evolution of financial systems and believe that in a world where even traditional banks fail, crypto and AI offer the most resilient path forward. I’m currently focused on recruiting top-tier engineering talent to help build the future of on-chain trading. Whether you're a 'rockstar' dev or just want to talk about market dynamics and risk management, I'm always open to connecting with people who move fast and think big.
