Svayam’s Sminu Jindal Named in Fortune India’s Most Powerful Women 2025, Honoured in Mumbai

Sminu Jindal, Founder-Chairperson of accessibility organisation Svayam and Managing Director of Jindal SAW Ltd., has been named among Fortune India’s Most Powerful Women 2025, at a felicitation held recently in Mumbai. The award was conferred by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari during the ceremony, in recognition of Ms. Jindal’s consistent efforts in advancing accessibility across India’s public spaces, transport hubs, tourism, and sporting arenas.

Svayam’s Sminu Jindal Named in Fortune India’s Most Powerful Women 2025, Honoured in Mumbai

Recognition like this reminds us that mobility is a right, not a privilege. Accessibility enables participation, builds confidence, and creates opportunities for people facing mobility challenges. As India plans its future, we must ensure our spaces grow with us, allowing everyone to contribute fully. This honour belongs to every individual and organisation working to make inclusion real,” said Sminu Jindal.

A car crash at eleven set her on a path where she realised how physical barriers limit opportunities. This experience led to the creation of Svayam, which started as an information platform for those seeking clarity on accessibility rights and has grown into an organisation driving change across sectors. Svayam has worked with the Archaeological Survey of India to make the Qutub Minar India’s first accessible UNESCO site, improved facilities at airports and transport terminals, and collaborated with stakeholders to redesign public spaces for ease of movement.

Svayam’s commitment to accessible sports has supported para-athletes across major platforms. The organisation partnered with the Paralympic Committee of India to assist the Indian contingent during the Tokyo Paralympics and the Paris Games, ensuring seamless access across venues and accommodations. Svayam has also contributed to the Khelo India Para Games and the Indian Open Para-Athletic International Championship, supporting athletes through logistical and infrastructural guidance. In cricket, Svayam’s collaboration with the Disability Cricket Council of India (DCCI) has helped India’s physically disabled cricket team during tournaments, including the Physically Disabled Champions Trophy, which India secured in 2025, encouraging young players to pursue sports confidently. Notably, in a landmark moment for the sport, the Indian disability cricket team played at Lord’s for the first time, reflecting growing recognition and encouraging young players to pursue their aspirations in sports.

Under Sminu’s leadership, Jindal SAW Ltd has integrated inclusive practices, demonstrating that industry can align growth with the principles of universal design while creating meaningful opportunities for persons with disabilities.

Looking ahead, Svayam is preparing to host India’s first National Summit on Accessible Sports and Tourism later this year, bringing together policymakers, industry experts, and advocates to develop actionable frameworks that place inclusion at the centre of planning. As India continues to expand its sporting and tourism potential, Svayam remains committed to ensuring that public spaces welcome everyone, fostering a society where people, regardless of mobility status, can travel, participate, and build their futures without barriers.

About Svayam
Svayam is a leading accessibility organization that aims to reform infrastructure and transportation to make it accessible for people with reduced mobility. Accessibility aids individuals and gives them the freedom to independently explore the built environment around them, irrespective of their physical capabilities. This was on philanthropist-business visionary Sminu Jindals mind when she founded Svayam in October 2000. An initiative of the Sminu Jindal Charitable Trust, Svayam is a not-for-profit accessibility pioneer that focuses on creating a barrier-free world for all.

CoinSwitch Launches Web3 Coins: Access 1,00,000+ Crypto Tokens Using INR

CoinSwitch, India’s largest crypto trading platform with over 2 crore users, today announced the launch of Web3 Coins, a major leap toward making decentralised crypto accessible to everyday investors. With this, users can now access over 1,00,000 crypto tokens and trade them directly in INR.

Web3 Coins gives investors immediate access to high-potential emerging tokens typically available on decentralised exchanges; without the usual hurdles of wallet setup, on/off ramp, token swaps, or network fees. Designed for everyday investors, it brings the benefits of decentralised trading to the mainstream by removing the complexity that often holds them back.

While the trading operates on decentralised infrastructure, access is securely managed through the CoinSwitch platform, ensuring full compliance with existing regulations in India.

“With Web3 Coins, we are delivering on our promise to make cutting-edge crypto opportunities accessible to everyday investors minus the complexity,” said Balaji Srihari, VP at CoinSwitch. “As crypto continues to evolve, our goal is to ensure that innovation and opportunity are not limited to the technically fluent. Web3 Coins brings the frontier of crypto within reach of the mainstream investor.”

Globally, decentralised exchanges are growing at a fast pace, now accounting for nearly 200 million unique trading addresses. According to crypto data platform Dune, DEX platforms have recorded over $2.45 trillion in trading volume over the past 12 months. This launch comes amid rising investor interest in early-stage tokens, with 34% of CoinSwitch’s active traders engaging with new tokens in the past six months.

Decentralised exchanges facilitate access to several tokens including utility tokens, governance tokens, meme coins, or stablecoins. These tokens are core to the crypto ecosystem and funding blockchain based innovation. Yet, Indian users, among the world’s most active crypto adopters, have largely been excluded due to complex barriers. The launch of Web3 Coins by CoinSwitch changes that.

To safeguard users, CoinSwitch follows the proprietary TRACE mechanism which determines what coins are made available to trade. This includes checks across five key areas:

  • Tokenomics verification

  • Risk scan

  • Audit of contract security

  • Community & social information

  • Exchange & liquidity metrics
    ​

“This launch is not just about expanding access. It is about doing it responsibly. And that’s why we’ve built safeguards to ensure our users can participate with confidence,” added Srihari.

India is already the global leader in grassroots crypto adoption. With products like Web3 Coins, CoinSwitch aims to further democratise access to digital assets while supporting responsible participation in the broader Web3 economy.

About CoinSwitch
Founded in 2017, CoinSwitch is Indias largest crypto trading platform and a pioneer in shaping the country’s crypto ecosystem. With over 2 crore users, CoinSwitch operates a regulatory-compliant platform that simplifies and enhances crypto trading for both retail and professional investors.

Backed by global investors such as Coinbase Ventures, Tiger Global, and Sequoia Capital India to the tune of $300 million, CoinSwitch offers 350+ coins on its platform.

Heyyy also enables offline connection through its built-in event tools, making it easy to host house parties, meetups, gigs, or spontaneous gatherings. The platform simplifies planning with features like attendee management, chat, and privacy controls, all within one space. Users can also showcase who they are and what they are working on through shareable links, portfolios, and project pages – all housed in one sleek profile.

Once a Heyyy profile is live, users can share it across Instagram, X, LinkedIn, or any platform of choice. Followers are notified in real time when new links, updates, or events are posted, making engagement timely and relevant.

“Heyyy turns social media visitors into collaborators, clients, teammates, or friends. We didn’t build it for attention – we built it for action. It’s for people who want to create momentum in life, whether that’s through creativity, community, or a spontaneous plan,” said Able Joseph, Founder of Jamm Labs.

Heyyy is now available on the App Store and Play Store. Users can claim their link-in-bio, customise their profile, and start turning followers into a connected, active community.
