Speaker Profile
Hirander Misra
Chief Executive Officer
GMEX Group and ZERO13
Hirander Mira has extensive electronic trading and FinTech expertise spanning over 28 years, with successful syndication to investors and substantial exits. He is Co-Founder and Chairman of GMEX Group and its COP28 award-winning climate fintech platform-as-a-service ZERO13. He is one of the Top 10 influential business leaders of blockchain technology in the UK All Party Parliamentary Group reports. He is also featured in LATTICE80’s Top 100 influencer list for the UN Sustainable Developments Goal agenda for pioneering blockchain technology solutions.
He brings a distinctive perspective at the intersection of AI infrastructure, renewable energy, critical minerals, sovereign finance, geopolitical global trade and digital real-world assets. His work is centred on the AI Resource Loop – the interconnected relationship between critical minerals, energy assets, digital infrastructure and AI-driven economic activity – and how trusted platform distribution can transform these assets into monetisable structured, yield-bearing investment products for traditional and digital institutional and private investors.
Hirander’s current focus is on creating structured products and tokens encompassing AI data centres and neo-cloud infrastructure, critical minerals and renewable energy, packaged via a regulated investment platform with digital custody to generate monthly yield for ultra-high-net-worth and institutional investors. His work spans asset structuring, regulated tokenisation, digital custody and capital markets connectivity, linking real-world assets with both traditional and digital institutional capital.
Key themes he brings to industry debate include:
- The AI Resource Loop: connecting critical minerals, energy, AI data centres and neo-cloud into a unified sovereign investment ecosystem
- From extraction to yield, how moving Global South nations up the value chain through structured AI infrastructure investment
Aggregating sovereign AI infrastructure funds into diversified, income-generating investment platforms
- Structuring critical minerals, renewable energy and AI data centre revenues as yield-bearing digital and traditional investment instruments
- Closing the multi-trillion-dollar climate and infrastructure finance gap through bankable real-world asset frameworks
- Source-to-sale provenance: making commodities, carbon credits and green real-world assets verifiable, investable and interoperable
- Bridging traditional and digital capital markets through regulated tokenisation, digital custody and institutional settlement infrastructure
- How cities and nations can shape the AI infrastructure economy
As a regular speaker and contributor to panels at COP, BIS Innovation Forum, Arab Monetary Fund, Commonwealth events, Davos-related events and other global commodity forums, Hirander brings specialist knowledge and a practical, market-focused perspective, grounding the conversation in economic sovereignty, sovereign value creation and geopolitical security, not just sustainability targets as he cites that ‘sustainability has to be economically sustainable’.
