About this listen

In this episode of New Research, Benjamin White and Pawel Czech sit down with Rakshit Choudhary, CEO of Deriv, to unpack what it actually means to run an AI-native financial business at global scale.


Serving millions of users across 100+ countries, Deriv operates under constant pressure: real-time execution, multilingual support, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance, all running 24/7. This is not AI as a demo or a feature, but AI as infrastructure.


Rakshit walks through Deriv’s transition from experimentation to board-level AI strategy, where machine intelligence is applied selectively across operations, product design, compliance, and decision-making. The conversation explores where AI outperforms humans today, where it still fails, how internal teams and roles are changing, and what Deriv is building now to remain competitive through 2030.


The episode closes with a look at Deriv’s AI hackathon and how the company is opening its doors to builders, operators, and talent who want to work on real problems with real impact.
