Lingo coin

Lingo is the first startup that leverages blockchain technology and real world assets to onboard the next billion Web3 users.

Our vision is to build the World's most rewarding token.

It is a web3 paradigm-changing attempt to fundamentally redesign the way people claim rewards.

If crypto adoption will surpass one billion users in the next few years, the question remains, why aren’t people using this technology massively already? 

The reasons are obvious as crypto is primarily seen as:

1. Too complicated to understand.
2. Too risky and volatile.
3. No utility in real life.

To address these concerns, Lingo Coin is:

1. Easy to understand: Hold Lingo. Get points. Claim for rewards, consistently.
2. Tangible: We acquire real world assets to fuel our rewards ecosystem.
3. Useful in real life: Rewards ecosystem involves vacations, tickets, coffee, shopping and more.

That's why Lingo is already championed by 250+ KOLs and celebrity brand ambassadors combining +300 million followers.

CEO, Co-founder

Subway

Owner and operator of 12 Subway restaurants.

I introduced the Subway franchise in Mauritius in 2014. 

In this role, I was responsible for the general management of the company – finding prime locations, developing the territory, implementing strategic marketing initiatives, hiring a high-impact team, putting financial mechanisms in place, and ultimately ensuring we scale.

In addition, I set up supply chain integration, funding mechanisms to ensure strategic growth, operational support structure, strategic management, brand equity, and traction boosting strategies, and implemented a lean and rapid development business model that ensured double-digit year-on-year growth.

As a result, Subway became the fastest growing restaurant brand in Mauritius. We later acquired the rights to operate the brand exclusively in South Africa.

Master franchisee

HM RAWAT GROUP

HMRawat Communications is a leading distributor and partner for 20+ international brands in 10+ countries. With offices and channels on three continents, the company is uniquely placed as a mediator between emerging industries and consumer trends and the growing demand from the MEA region.

In this role, I led sales and marketing arm for the Group. 

I recruited high-impact marketing and sales teams to ensure fast and exponential growth, along with implementing strategic marketing initiatives regionally, nationally, and internationally, in addition to growing the distribution network. 

While I was working for the family business, we secured more than 80% of the mobile phone market share in Mauritius. Moreover, we achieved a 300% increase in annual revenue for the Madagascar business unit and a 1,500% increase in annual revenue for the Seychelles business unit.

We also launched the first electronics e-commerce website in Mauritius.

Marketing Director

W Media International

The first digital marketing agency in Mauritius.
		
During my time in this role, I secured contracts with the Ministry of Finance to promote small-medium scale entrepreneurship in Mauritius.

Our portfolio also included projects with Puma, where we integrated targeted social media and SMS outreach, generating a 500% increase in sales on the first campaign day.

We also built and managed a digital marketing presence for a Top-30 company in Mauritius, reaching over 10% of the country population in active engagement.

One year after the official launch, WMedia was awarded the SME company of the year by the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology of Mauritius.

Director

Co-Founder & CEO @Lingo | The first Web3 startup that rewards people with vacations.

As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve been building businesses throughout my entire life. 


At:
10: Selling MP3 CDs at school.
18: Founded the 1st digital agency in Mauritius, awarded SME company of the year by Ministry of IT. 
20: Tripled overseas revenue for family business @HMRAWAT
22: Launched Subway in Mauritius. Youngest master franchisee in the world at the time. Scaled to 12 restaurants in 6 years. Fastest-growing restaurant brand in the country. Acquired by a public listed company's majority shareholder in 2022.


30:   -Bold statement-   Web3 is the most exciting industry in the World for an entrepreneur, and will revolutionise global value systems in the next decade. 

Blockchain adoption is growing 2x faster than the internet in the 90s, making it the fastest technological adoption in history. 

Today, the tech is easy. Applications aren't hard to write, but they’re really hard to market, and really hard to persuade big communities to use them, in volume. 

At Lingo, we’re cracking that code. 

We're leveraging blockchain technology and Real-World Assets to onboard the next billion in Web3. Our vision is to build the World's most rewarding token.
