WazirX, a cryptocurrency exchange, has doubled its workforce within the first quarter of 2021.

The growth of the crypto exchange is backed by an ever-increasing customer footfall. The platform is also leading the industry with partnerships for ultramodern use-cases including Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT).

To address the growing demand for cryptocurrency, WazirX has amplified its team across various functions such as Tech, Marketing, Compliance, Customer Support, etc. The exchange has also hired industry veterans for leadership roles like Head of Human Resources, Head of Compliance & Legal, Senior Director - Engineering, VP - Business Operations, and Director - Customer Happiness.

WazirX has announced plans to recruit top talent for engineering and operations.

In addition to blockchain developers, the platform is also on a hunt for professionals well-versed in Python, JavaScript, SQL, MongoDB, and R alongside others. WazirX envisions creating the most technologically advanced infrastructure in India by building a robust pool of talent, wherein it has opened its door even for Tier-2 and Tier-3-city-based professionals. WazirX is known for its collaborative work culture and entrepreneurial mindset across the board.

Nishcal Shetty, Co-Founder and CEO, WazirX said, "We are leaving no stone unturned to make the Indian cryptocurrency industry a force to reckon with at a global stage. Cryptocurrencies have a market cap of more than $2 trillion, which is only increasing by the day. It has grown more than 10-fold in a year itself. India cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity. Instead, if we adopt a progressive approach and join the bandwagon early, the incentives can be wide-ranging for everyone from industry professionals to the market and the nation at large. It can virtually transform the Indian socio-economic growth story."

WazirX has aimed to triple its current workforce before the end of 2021, and further aims to strengthen its senior leadership in Security, Policy, Engineering, Marketing, and Finance. Technically, by the end of this year, WazirX will quadruple the headcount of its workforce between Dec '20 and Dec '21. The move will further augment the company's products and services, thereby driving even higher footfall towards it in the near future. The platform is spearheading a forward-looking strategy to achieve its overarching objectives including its plan to initiate 'Work From Anywhere' soon.
