Bhargav Aparoksham is a founder and software engineer with nine years of experience building web3 infrastructure and product-led financial services. After core development work at Gitcoin—contributing front-end and TypeScript improvements to the widely used Grants Stack—he helped build the Allo Protocol and Grants Explorer before moving into a senior engineering role. He now runs Own Protocol (stealth), aiming to bring stocks on-chain, blending product intuition from his fintech background with hands-on full‑stack engineering. His career spans product management roles at InCred and early community/product work at Of10, giving him a rare mix of user-focused product sense and deep implementation experience. Based in Bengaluru and trained in mechatronics, he brings systems thinking to both hardware-adjacent problems and decentralized finance stacks. Colleagues know him for shipping pragmatic UI fixes and feature work that smooths the developer and grant applicant experience behind complex protocols.
