Throughout history, certain inventions have reorganised the world. From the printing press to the steam engine, these technologies have triggered paradigm shifts that alter the fundamental structure of societies. Anuj Nayar believes that we are right at the beginning of another global transformation. One that will recategorise every industry in the world.

Anuj Nayar has over twenty-five years of global expertise in media, payments, and consumer technology. He has cultivated a distinguished career at industry-leading companies such as Apple, PayPal, and LendingClub—innovators that reshaped entire industries.
