The Crypto Landscape by Patrick J Zoro

Nikhil Jaisinghani's career in finance began a-traditionally. Leaving college with a degree in math and physics, he joined a mathematical consulting company working for the DOD and FAA. He then left the US to join the Peace Corps as a volunteer math teacher in rural Nepal. Hooked on adventure, he then taught in South India, completed a degree in international economics at Johns Hopkins, and joined the US Agency for International Development as a foreign service officer in Nigeria. He continued his passion for socially impactful work when he started a company aiming to convert flared natural gas in the Niger Delta into fertilizer and cooking fuel, then later invented a low-cost solar micro grid, and then started a venture-backed company building those solar micro grids across North India. After disagreements with his investors, Nikhil left and fell into finance, initially as an investment advisor to endowments and foundations (which he still does) and now as an options investor at Titan Strategic Income Fund. In addition to running an options fund, Nikhil has published papers on the Black Scholes model and options investor behavior and his paper presenting a new options pricing model is to be published by the Journal of Economic Studies in 2026. His options investing book, Structured Dividend Income, is also available on Amazon.
