Apart from Kapur (Founder & CEO) and Vaghela (Co-founder & CPO), Zyber 365’s core team also includes Soneshwar Singh as CTO and Samiraj Singh as CFO.

The company’s portfolio comprises a diverse range of Web3 products, decentralized identities, data analytics, software development kits, web browsers, non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces, and initial coin offerings (ICOs), as per its website.

The firm is also gearing up to launch its native token to bolster its ecosystem, and its EVM Compatible Layer 1 (PoA) sustainable chain solution is set to go live by the end of May 2024.
