Today I am speaking with Isha Varshney, Head of Ecosystem at Celo. With roots in India and Kenya, Isha brings a unique global perspective to blockchain adoption in emerging markets. I’m excited to welcome Isha to the podcast - and long-time listeners know that I previously featured one of Celo’s founding members, Marek Olszewski during Ep. 131 back in August 2023. 

After earning her Chartered Accountancy and working at KPMG in cross-border taxation, she founded WealthBoost Investments to help India's young professionals build wealth. Her passion for impact-driven work led her to Oxford Business School, where a transformative encounter with Vitalik Buterin's vision for blockchain technology sparked her journey into web3. Now at Celo, she leads ecosystem development for their mobile-first blockchain platform, focusing on bringing financial access to emerging markets through stable coins and innovative payment solutions.

During our conversation, Isha shares insights on blockchain adoption in developing economies, the power of community-driven development, and real-world impact stories.
