Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Alluva article ‘Cryptocurrency Myths and Misconceptions; Debunked! (Part 3)’.
She said: “[One] way in which we can utilise crypto and blockchain technology is in providing provenance of the products. 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.”

The Fintech Week is a 6-day FinTech focused event held in Hamburg (4-9 November). It is a celebration of all things FinTech and helps to showcase and promote FinTech ventures in Germany.
This year, the Fintech Week collaborated with the UK to strengthen Germany and London ties in the FinTech space.
As a result, the Depart of International Trade in the UK Government hand-picked MarketOrders.net to attend and present at FinForward, which is a 2-day conference part of the Fintech Week. The mission was to showcase Fintech capabilities and to foster collaboration and new opportunities.
Our COO and Co-founder, Sukhi Jutla, attended the FinForward event and presented on 2 panels.
The first panel discussed how Fintechs could embrace greater diversity. This was an insightful event where it was clear to see that this topic is very much at the forefront of the FinTech community. They understand that to build the tech of tomorrow we need to include everyone. Tech is inclusive and it’s important to celebrate all diversity in this field.
The second panel was about blockchain and the rise of Security Token Offerings (STO). Sukhi shared her views on how blockchain and STOs are increasing internalisation of the financial markets and shared how MarketOrders.net plans to disrupt the supply chain with the use of this new innovative technology.
Sukhi commented: ‘’It was a fantastic conference and we thank the Department of International Trade for this great opportunity. It is clear to see how progress is made when collaborations work well and it was great to see how Fintechs are thriving not only in London but in Germany too.’’
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.”

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Decrypt article ‘Number of Bitcoin addresses holding over $9.3 million rises by 30% – report’.
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.”

Tuesday 29th of October, the MarketOrders team was invited to the annual Mayor of London’s business reception.
The reception was held at City Hall, in the heart of London, from 6 pm onwards. The event was an opportunity to hear more about the Mayor’s work to deliver good growth for the capital and to network with other business leaders representing a cross-section of London’s economy.
Rajesh Agrawal, the Deputy Mayor of London for Business, made an introduction and encouraged the guests to network, make connections and learn from each of other.
Sadiq Khan made a speech highlighting the strength of London’s innovation and its openness to the world. He reinforced that despite political uncertainty, London is and will remain a welcoming city where people can learn, thrive, invent, conceive and succeed.
Our COO Sukhi Jutla and our Head of PR & Coms, Caroline Hoffmann, attended the event, representing MarketOrders.
Caroline said: “It was an honour to meet the Mayor of London. Though being a very busy man, he took the time to spend an evening with London’s entrepreneurs and get to know them. I really identified with his speech as I come from France and despite Brexit, I still feel welcome in this city and hope I’ll be able to live and work here for many years to come. I also think that London’s innovation is booming more than ever and that the best is yet to come.”
Sukhi gave her reaction as well: “We were honoured to be invited at the Mayor’s reception and to meet the Mayor in person. It was clear to see from his speech that he cares about the entrepreneurial and business community in London and took the time to hear about what we do at MarketOrders. He also congratulated the team on our recent fundraise!”
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.”
