About Us

Specialized software development for algorithmic trading systems

Company Overview

We are a specialized software development company with over 12 years of experience in creating high-performance algorithmic trading solutions. Based in Mumbai, we focus on developing and customizing our flagship Chanakya algorithmic trading platform to meet the specific needs of financial institutions and traders.

Our Expertise

Our core competency lies in developing robust, low-latency trading systems. We offer customization services for our proprietary platforms, allowing clients to implement their trading strategies efficiently and effectively.

Our Approach

We differentiate ourselves through our commitment to performance optimization. When customizing or developing solutions, we compile our components and platform specifically for each client's requirements and machine, using the latest GCC and software versions to extract maximum performance.

Our business model is built around strict confidentiality. We develop custom trading strategies exclusively under robust NDAs, ensuring your intellectual property remains protected. Unlike many providers, we do not maintain a library of readymade trading strategies that we resell to multiple clients - our work is tailored specifically to your requirements.

For demonstration purposes, we only utilize basic textbook strategies to showcase platform capabilities. Your proprietary trading logic remains exactly that - proprietary to you alone.
