Mr Abhay Agarwal: From Speculation To Sound Money- GetBit’s Mission To Redefine Bitcoin Adoption In India

GetBit was born out of a deep frustration with the outdated legacy financial system and the noise of the broader crypto space. While most platforms chase hype, GetBit is grounded in first principles—financial sovereignty, clarity, and practical education. What sets us apart is their conviction. Users can buy Bitcoin directly with INR—no stablecoins, no USD. They offer best-in-class price discovery and full self-custody tools, giving users complete ownership and control. Every feature is built to be simple, transparent, and focused on long-term value over short-term speculation.

Q1. As India’s first Bitcoin-native financial platform, how is GetBit simplifying Bitcoin adoption for a population that is still becoming acquainted with digital finance?

The challenge wasn’t just about making Bitcoin available, it was about making it understandable. For most people, the world of digital finance feels intimidating and risky. GetBit was built to change that. Our platform strips away all the noise that surrounds crypto trading and focuses purely on Bitcoin. We’ve made onboarding simple with instant KYC through DigiLocker, created intuitive features like SIPs starting at ₹100, and integrated gifting options to make Bitcoin ownership more approachable.

But here’s the thing, Bitcoin isn’t just an asset, it’s a movement. Our goal isn’t only to build a user base, but a community of informed Bitcoiners. Education is central to that. We create content, host discussions, and share resources that help people understand why Bitcoin matters, not just how to buy it. Every design choice reflects one goal: to make Bitcoin part of people’s everyday financial lives, saving, spending, and eventually borrowing. By staying true to Bitcoin and empowering users through self-custody and transparency, we’re not just simplifying adoption; we’re building lasting trust.

Q2. While most exchanges chase altcoin trends, GetBit stays Bitcoin-only. What makes this conviction-driven approach more sustainable in India’s evolving crypto ecosystem?

Because conviction builds resilience. Altcoin-driven platforms depend on speculation and short-term market trends. We’ve taken the opposite route by a complete focus on Bitcoin, because it represents sound, decentralised money with real-world utility.

As a business, we only build around what we truly believe in, and that belief is rooted in understanding the difference between hype and revolution. GetBit was created by Bitcoiners, for India. We know what this country needs, and it’s not noise or speculation; it’s clarity, trust, and financial independence. That’s why we’ve chosen to focus solely on Bitcoin. It’s not a marketing stance; it’s a principle.

This clarity builds trust. And in a market as young and fast-changing as India’s, trust is the real differentiator. Our Bitcoin-only model is sustainable because it’s rooted in long-term value, not hype.

Q3. Bitcoin’s regulatory landscape in India is still maturing. How does GetBit ensure compliance while staying true to Bitcoin’s ethos of financial freedom?

Compliance and financial freedom can coexist. GetBit operates with full transparency, adhering to all KYC and AML regulations while empowering users to maintain self-custody of their Bitcoin. Through our partnership with Theya, users gain access to multisig vaults, ensuring full control without compromising security or regulatory standards. This balanced approach, secure, compliant, and user-sovereign, reflects our vision of responsible innovation in India’s evolving financial ecosystem.

Q4. With over 50,000 users already, how do you see GetBit shaping mainstream understanding of Bitcoin as ‘sound money’ rather than a speculative asset?

Our community is here to learn, not trade. Every aspect of GetBit, from our intuitive app design to educational content is designed to show users Bitcoin for what it truly is: the world’s first sound, digital money. We emphasise saving over gambling and ownership over speculation. By promoting self-custody and real financial education, we are reshaping Bitcoin’s perception from a volatile asset to a cornerstone of a secure, inflation-resistant financial future.

Q5. What’s next for GetBit in terms of Bitcoin-native financial tools, and how do you envision its role in India’s broader digital and economic transformation?

Alongside our current list of tools that include, SIP, Bitcoin Gifting, helping through with self custody wallet partners, we plan on bringing more features that suit our customers.

GetBit, being the first of its kind, is leading a charge on multiple fronts when it comes to Bitcoin adoption in India. As India moves toward a digital economy, GetBit’s goal is to make Bitcoin an integral part of that transformation, connecting Indian users and businesses to the global Bitcoin standard.
