“It's with a heavy heart that I share my departure from Caddy Finance. The past 7 months in the DeFi space have been an incredible journey, and leaving a team that truly felt like family was one of the toughest decisions I've had to make. I am forever grateful for the trust and support that Abhishek Sira Chandrashekar and Arko Ganguli placed in me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute and grow in such a special environment. The knowledge and belief you shared are something I wil…”
