IFF and Tokenized Toast Club Team Up for Bengaluru Tokenization Mixer

In an exciting step towards uniting traditional finance and the decentralized future, the Indian Financial Forum (IFF) partnered with the Tokenized Toast Club (TTC) for the Bengaluru edition of TTC’s popular tokenization mixer. Held on April 25, 2025, at Hustlehub Tech Park, HSR Layout, the event served as a curated space for fintech and Web3 pioneers to engage, collaborate, and imagine the future of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

A Community-Driven Vision

The partnership between IFF and TTC wasn’t just a branding alignment — it was a strategic community collaboration with a shared vision: to create a space where finance professionals, startup founders, and Web3 builders could exchange ideas and explore the transformative power of blockchain technology.

Billed as a “founder-first mixer,” the Bengaluru edition attracted CXOs, product leads, and innovators from across fintech, proptech, SaaS, and DeFi — all united by a common curiosity: how can real-world assets be tokenized, and what infrastructure is needed to scale trust in this new paradigm?

Tokenizing the Future: Ideas Meet Infrastructure

A highlight of the evening was a panel discussion on “Tokenizing the Future: Infrastructure, Assets, and Opportunities for Startups.” Moderated by Vinith Kurian of Scaling Trust, the panel featured industry pioneers:

• Akshay Poshatwar – Co-founder & CEO, Qiro Finance
• Varun Singhi – Co-founder & CSO, PropFTX
• Rohan Shivaprasad – Head of Financial Products, rootVX

From building seamless Web2-like user experiences to embedding trust directly on-chain, the discussion offered practical insights on launching successful tokenized products in today’s fragmented landscape.

Designed for Depth, Not Hype

True to TTC’s ethos of “no fluff, all substance,” the event deliberately avoided the noise of large conferences. Instead, it offered an invite-only, intimate setting where deep, authentic conversations could unfold over coffee and cocktails.

Attendees praised the event for its high signal-to-noise ratio, noting the sharpness of discussions and the openness with which panelists shared their experiences navigating regulatory uncertainty, product design, and on-chain trust.

Why This Partnership Matters

The collaboration between IFF and TTC is significant for several reasons:

• Cross-pollination of ecosystems: IFF brings deep roots in BFSI, payments, and lending, while TTC is at the forefront of tokenization and Web3. Together, they bridged gaps in language, tech, and perspective.
• Expanding community access: TTC’s events often cater to early adopters and crypto-native builders. IFF’s involvement helped draw in traditional finance professionals looking to understand tokenization without the jargon.
• Catalyzing innovation in India’s fintech landscape: By spotlighting local founders solving real problems through tokenization, the event energized discussions on the next wave of financial infrastructure.

What’s Next?

While the Bengaluru edition was a one-off event, it represents a growing trend: collaborative ecosystems that blend the rigor of finance with the experimental spirit of Web3. With rising interest in real-world asset tokenization, such events are likely to shape India’s digital finance narrative in the coming years.

As TTC summed it up in their post-event note:

“The future of tokenization is being built right here — and we’re just getting started.”
