The Upstox Story:

Upstox is one of India's leading Fin-Tech companies with a mission to simplify trading & investing to make it easily accessible to the masses. We aim to enable everyone, from new investors to seasoned traders, to invest across multiple categories with our state-of-the-art trade & investment platform and commission-free pricing. We offer numerous asset categories to invest in, like Stocks, IPOs, Mutual Funds, and more.

Upstox, co-founded by Ravi Kumar, Kavitha Subramanian, and Shrini Viswanath, is India's leading wealth-tech platform, empowering 1.3+ crore customers to achieve their financial goals. Backed by Ratan Tata, our mission is to enable every Indian to invest right, trade right, and build wealth confidently.

We offer simplified trading and investing through our mobile app and desktop platforms, catering to various user preferences with two distinct modes:

- Upstox Pro: Aimed at active traders, offering advanced trading features in Equities, Futures, Options, Currencies, and Commodities.

Our journey began with a focus on trading excellence in Equities and Futures & Options (F&O) trading. In 2023, we expanded our offerings, introducing a mode solely for investors and a revamped Mutual Fund product. Today, we have evolved into a comprehensive wealth platform, offering a wide range of products and services to help our customers achieve their financial goals.
