CryptoSe: India's First Crypto-to-UPI App Launched by Top Crypto Lawyer
Adv. Sakir Dadu launches CryptoSe, India's first app allowing users to pay via UPI directly using cryptocurrency with full legal compliance.
In a significant move for India's digital economy, a new platform has emerged to bridge the gap between the world of cryptocurrency and the nation's massive real-time payment network. CryptoSe, operated by Dadu Fintech Private Limited, has been introduced as India’s first application designed to facilitate seamless crypto-to-UPI transactions.
Founded by Adv. Sakir Dadu, a prominent figure in India's cryptocurrency legal landscape, the app aims to solve a major pain point for millions of Indian crypto holders: the difficulty of using digital assets for everyday purchases.
Bridging the Gap Between Crypto and UPI
For most cryptocurrency users in India, converting digital assets into spendable cash has historically been a cumbersome process involving multiple steps, such as selling on an exchange and waiting for bank withdrawals. CryptoSe aims to collapse this entire process into a single, instantaneous action.
The platform features a "Scan & Pay" functionality that allows users to:
- Scan any standard UPI QR code.
- Enter a specific UPI ID.
- View the real-time conversion rate upfront.
- Complete the transaction, resulting in the recipient receiving funds in INR via UPI, IMPS, or NEFT.
Compliance-First Architecture
Unlike many unregulated platforms, CryptoSe is built with a heavy emphasis on legal transparency. Recognizing that trust is the primary driver for crypto adoption in India, the platform has secured several key regulatory recognitions:
- FIU-IND Registration: It is registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit–India as a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) Service Provider.
- DPIIT Recognition: The startup is recognized under the Government of India's Startup India programme within the Finance Technology and Payment Platforms category.
“Crypto adoption in India will not be driven by technology alone. It will be driven by trust — and trust comes from compliance, transparency and legal clarity. CryptoSe is built so that every rupee and every token can be accounted for.” — Adv. Sakir Dadu, Founder, CryptoSe

The foundation of CryptoSe is rooted in the extensive legal expertise of its founder. With over 18 years of legal practice, Adv.

This unique combination of courtroom experience and technical development allowed Dadu to design CryptoSe specifically to address the real-world problems his clients face, such as regulatory uncertainty and settlement hurdles.
