Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted by Alluva in their article “Cryptocurrency Myths and Misconceptions; Debunked! (Part 2)”.
She said: “We can now provide evidence of the products full journey from mine to factory to customer and we can also verify the authenticity of the metals in the product. This gives a greater degree of confidence for end consumers who are now becoming more aware of purchasing sustainably and ensuring they are not buying items that are contributing to malevolent practices such as child labour or slavery.”

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted by CEO Blog Nation article ’10 Entrepreneurs Explain How Technology is Impacting Their Business Today’.
She said: “MarketOrders operates in a traditional industry where most transactions are done in person with trusted relationships. The downside to this is the inability to scale fast enough and in-person transactions are prone to human error. Technology has allowed us to streamline the process of sourcing gold and diamond jewellery products for our retailers. We use our innovative tech platform that digitizes every step of the supply chain process, helping to make it more transparent. We are also using innovative new technologies such as blockchain to track the products and provide provenance and authenticity of the goods passing through the supply chain. It ensures both retailers and customers are getting what they pay for. Without this new technology, we would have never been able to scale our business, increase our margins and improve our processes. Technology has created numerous advantages for retailers, manufacturers, marketplaces like MarketOrders, and the end consumer.”

The article stated:
Sukhi Jutla, a Bitcoin author and expert, told Decrypt the increasing number of Bitcoin millionaires can be attributed to an increasing number of people becoming aware of Bitcoin and holding wealth in this asset type.
“With crypto becoming more mainstream, there is an increasing number of individuals, wealth managers and family offices who are looking to diversify their holdings and Bitcoin is one of the most trusted assets around at this point in time,” she explained.
“In addition to this, the Bitcoin Rich List has increased because of the number of new exchanges that are being opened. These exchanges hold Bitcoin in multiple wallets and this is also driving the increase we have seen.”

Our Co-Founder & CEO, Ram Krishnna Rao, was recently quoted in CEO Blog Nation article ’26 Entrepreneurs Explain What Being A CEO Means To Them’.
He said: “Being a CEO means being a great leader and inspire people. Inspire them with a vision for the company, a future and the opportunity and it will create. It’s also inspiring his collaborators to be the best version of themselves. How? In delivering what you promise. Inspiring people with a future you’re capable of delivering will enable you to gain respect and motivate your collaborators. Recognising everyone’s effort and successes is essential too. You don’t become a great leader by putting people down, but by praising everyone’s achievements, no matter how small. Some people have facilities to lead, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t learn it. If you could just listen to people, put yourself in their shoes, understand better what they’re going through and recognise their efforts, work, achievements and value, you would already make a huge difference.”

Our COO & Co-Founder, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Cointelegraph article ‘The Future of Cryptocurrencies in the UK Hangs on FCA’s Decision’.
She said: “The proposed ban will be seen as a major blow and backward step for innovation in the crypto-asset space. It will also signal that despite the U.K. being the leaders in the Fintech scene, they will have effectively been compromising on this position.”
She added: “I very much doubt there is transparency of communication between the Government and the FCA.”
and: “Both parties have opposing agendas and viewpoints. Even if the FCA is not ready to embrace crypto assets, it has a duty of care to ensure that if these products are available, protection is in place for consumers and investors.”
