    MUMBAI: GLL (Grow Limitless Ledger), a new-age tech startup building digital infrastructure for creators and small businesses, is set to launch its services in India this August. The platform uses blockchain and AI to help creators prove ownership of their work, offers invoice protection and trade finance support to MSMEs, and connects enterprises with verified partners.

    Designed to help creators publish and protect their work digitally, GLL leverages the best of both AI and blockchain worlds. It provides them with opportunities to grow, earn, and collaborate while allowing them to retain ownership and earn credit. For MSMEs, GLL offers invoice protection, access to working capital, and tools to take their businesses global.

    Through GLL’s curated marketplace, other enterprises can also discover and work with these verified creators and small businesses.


    Anirban Roy, co-founder, GLL, said in a statement, “Millions of small creators and entrepreneurs work hard every day but lack visibility, credit access, or recognition. We’re building the rails for a new digital economy—where your content, your business, and your identity are verifiable and rewarded.”

    “Proof of Creation” — GLL' blockchain-backed feature that verifies original work. GLL also issues “GLL Ions,” its native digital token, which users can earn by posting content, uploading invoices, or promoting their business. These tokens can then be used to unlock AI tools, pay for services, or gain visibility within the ecosystem. The company envisions creating a $1 billion+ GLL Ions economy in the next five years.

    GLL’s India launch will include its digital wallet, AI-powered creator tools, invoice protection services, and a gamified community rewards program. A full-scale marketplace for enterprises and exporters is planned for later this year in both India and Singapore. Earlier in May, GLL raised $100,000 in seed money from XDC Singapore, an open-source hybrid blockchain platform.

    The company aims to capitalise on the potential of the rapidly expanding creator economy. Over 90% of creators earn less than $100 per month, and MSMEs face a credit gap of over $500 billion. With India’s ONDC push and a growing appetite for verifiable, digital-first platforms, GLL is betting on a new wave of formalisation.
