Genius is 1% Inspiration & 99% Perspiration! — Thomas Alva Edison
People often say it takes decades or even a century for a Genius to be born! I would say everyone has a chance of becoming Genius and it depends on how they work towards it. As Mark Zuckerberg once coined the phrase “Some People Dream of Success.. While Others Wake Up and Work Hard At It..”
KUMAR GAURAV, a person I became acquainted recently is such a person whom I would call a GENIUS who has already begun and is revolutionizing the lives of Billions of people worldwide.
Kumar is the Founder & CEO of Cashaa, a revolutionary Crypto Token which is slowly & steadily moving into the hearts of people who are deprived of basic banking services. A lot about Cashaa & its revolutionary banking platform & product can be found at www.cashaa.com.
Kumar is also the Chairman & Founder of Auxesis Group which is building Auxledger a Multi-tier, Hybrid, Enterprise Blockchain platform. (More info @ www.auxledger.org) He has taken both Cashaa & Auxledger ranked under the Top 100 most influential Blockchain companies across the globe.
Kumar is an international Blockchain Speaker & Influencer who has been invited at IIT, TieCON, TechCrunch, Government, Parliament and many conferences, Government forums and platforms across the globe. He is amongst 100 most influential people in the world and has also been awarded with an extraordinary status by the United States government. He was recently nominated among the World’s Top 50 Innovators from the Industries of the future market and tech era.
Kumar is an Indian serial entrepreneur, a business magnet, an emerging tycoon, who has his own vision to provide his community (The World is his community) a better decentralized system eliminating the current issues of transparency, corruption and economy unevenness.
It’s interesting to see Kumar’s ongoing success story through Cashaa as most people look at it from a perspective of 7 to 8 months of Cashaa’s ICO/ITO (Initial Coin/Token Offering) in late last year. While the fact is Cashaa’s vision was launched in early 2016 and Cashaa founded in June’16. The seed was raised cell by cell, stem by stem and leaf by leaf, a beta product launched which now is continued to be spear headed by Kumar to go live soon.
The effort and hard work that Kumar has put into his vision is humongous which can’t be just expressed by a few words. He has been traveling a lot to showcase Cashaa at various forums, make partnerships, getting the brand worldwide, going to places where there is a need for the banking system revamp or even where there is less banking exposure, meeting people at all spans of life, several communities such as students, universities, workplaces not just of blockchain & cryptos, even getting Governments, regulators to understand blockchain and Cashaa’s role in it etc., etc., Few also have criticized him when he attends and just speaks on blockchain and its use-cases. What they do not get is every speech he makes influences people on the vision he has. For example, a few months back Kumar travelled to Africa and many pondering why he is on a blockchain educational mission going everywhere & not speaking on Cashaa or Auxesis specifics, but in general. They got the answer when Cashaa announced African Payments Alliance on 20-July’18 with African Fintech companies which makes Cashaa be part of crypto framework being implemented in the that continent leading the consortium in over 40 African countries.
Now people have started getting the feel of every single travel made by Kumar, every single meetup by Kumar, every single speech by Kumar, every step of Kumar is a milestone of his vision. Kumar, a tireless person, a person who less cares on negativity, a person who takes criticism to his advantage with full of positivity and who could spread his positive energy in no time with people around him, on the other side is hard to believe that a person of such stature, social status is the most humble & simple person, a rare trait of his cadre. Kumar never hesitates even a moment to come down to meet his community or even public and compassionately answers any question put across him. He takes time off of his work to post not just his professional outcomes or progress, but to chat on social media, meet his members when he is at their town, cares for a coffee which instills trust among his community and followers.
The primary vision of Kumar is to offer all services related to money be it a traditional currency (Fiat) or Crypto Currency to the 2 billion un-banked population and people who undergo many complexities during transfer of money across the border. His vision is to build a global bank and global currency which would work with not just people but with countries and its regulators / central banks. Yet to Kumar “Money” as such doesn’t fascinate him in the sense he doesn’t see it as a pure business opportunity to take advantage of. There are many instances Kumar has proved that people and community are more important than he and his organization making money. Kumar chose to reject 14.1 Million dollars to be in compliant with international KYC norms raised through Cashaa ICO / ITO. Today, most businesses fails not because of lack of vision or hard work or not having good service or product, but because of lack of integrity. Integrity and Trust are the two eyes of a successful business and that’s exactly is the definition of Kumar Gaurav. In another instance, there were about 192 Million Cashaa unsold which were planned to be burnt, but Kumar chose to give it back to the community by sharing 70% of tokens as reward on the amount of Cashaa token held by people. This came as a big surprise and gave Cashaa holders a huge joy as it would benefit every single Cashaa holder soon. This again shows Kumar’s love and care for his investors and community as he strongly believes he needs to travel along with them and have everyone succeed with him.
A person is generally said to be efficient if he balances his work and life, because most of the times it comes down to inefficiency and lack of productivity if it would be just all work which doesn’t lead to success always. As far as Kumar is concerned his vision is his passion and anything done with passion and at the same time being compassionate to everyone around him (including the larger community, investors in his vision) makes a perfect balance of his work and life.
Now, would you bet if a Genius is born? As the preface quote by Thomas Edison above, (a person who is known for his innumerable inventions and especially through thousands of tries & failures) — A Genius is 1% Inspiration & 99% perspiration suits perfectly to Kumar Gaurav as every drop of his sweat shall be the proof of his revolutionary vision, achievements, success and making people’s life better now & in future generations to come . Sooner he shall be a man that history will never forget! Thanks!
Please do share your experiences during your meeting with Kumar or something special you would like to share about the Genius!
