Polygon Labs Elevates Aishwary Gupta to Global Head of Business Amid Global Payments Expansion
Mumbai, Feb 10: Polygon Labs today announced the elevation of Aishwary Gupta as Global Head of Business, marking a key leadership milestone as the company accelerates its push into regulated stablecoin payments and global money movement.
Gupta, who has played a central role in building Polygon’s institutional and enterprise partnerships worldwide, steps into the role at a time when blockchain-based financial infrastructure is gaining rapid regulatory and commercial traction.
Reflecting on his journey, Aishwary said, “When I joined Polygon, I believed blockchain would fundamentally reshape how money moves. What I didn’t fully anticipate was how quickly that conviction would be tested and validated. Every partnership, every late-night proposal, every breakthrough moment with a global institution reinforced one thing: the world is ready for better money infrastructure.”
In his new role, Aishwary will lead global business strategy, enterprise partnerships, and ecosystem expansion as Polygon Labs builds what it calls the Open Money Stack, a vertically integrated platform designed to power regulated stablecoin payments and seamless global money movement.
This next phase is underscored by Polygon Labs’ acquisition of Coinme and Sequence, strengthening its capabilities across fiat access, smart wallet infrastructure, and stablecoin settlement:
- Licensed fiat on/off-ramps across 48 U.S. states via Coinme
- Enterprise-grade smart wallets and one-click cross-chain transactions via Sequence
- Stablecoin settlement with fast, predictable finality on Polygon’s network
- Over $2.2 trillion in on-chain value already transferred
The Open Money Stack aims to remove traditional friction points in global payments; eliminating correspondent banking dependencies, settlement delays, and cutoff times while enabling payments that settle in seconds and integrate directly with existing financial systems.
“The vision is simple: empower anyone, anywhere to move money instantly,” Aishwary added. “No correspondent banks, no settlement delays. payments that settle in seconds; the next three years will define how money moves for the next thirty, and I’m stepping into this role ready to lead from the front.”
