Meet Pearl Kapur, India’s youngest billionaire and the brains behind Zyber 365, an innovative Web3 and AI-based OS startup. With its headquarters in London and operations based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Zyber 365 has quickly disrupted the retail sector, reaching unicorn status within just three months of its founding in May 2023. Valued at a whopping $1.2 billion, it’s hailed as the fastest unicorn in both India and Asia.
Pearl, now 33, holds an impressive net worth of $1.1 billion, primarily due to her 90% shareholding in Zyber 365. Her journey began with humble roles as a Financial Advisor at AMPM Store and a Business Advisor for Antier Solutions. Before Zyber 365, she founded Billion Pay Technologies Pvt Ltd in February 2022.
Pearl’s educational background in MSC Investment Banking (CFA Pathway) from Queen Mary University of London equipped her with the skills needed to navigate the complexities of the business world.
Zyber 365 secured a $100 million Series A funding round in July 2023, with 8% of the investment coming from the SRAM & MRAM Group, an agrarian company that recognized Zyber 365’s potential.
Looking ahead, Pearl envisions a future where the integration of exponential technologies like blockchain, AI, and cybersecurity, coupled with sustainable practices, will empower individuals on a global scale, leading to what she terms as Globalisation 3.0.
