New Delhi, India, 25th June, 2025: New-age Broking platform, Sahi announced a $10.5 million Series A funding round led by existing investors Accel and Elevation Capital. The funding, just months after its December 2024 launch, reflects strong product-market fit in India’s booming retail trading market, driven by exceptional user engagement.
Sahi’s “chart-first” approach redefines trading by eliminating friction between analysis and execution. Its proprietary chart engine offers one-click, single screen trading experience with real-time Greeks, open interest, and technical indicators. Originally launched on mobile, the platform has since expanded to desktop to serve traders across different workflows.
The platform’s pro-grade features and fast execution have fueled remarkable traction: 200 thousand+ app downloads in under six months, with active traders growing at 50% month-over-month. Over 20% of users have executed 500+ trades in just five months, while 50%+ of users have placed more than 100+ trades in this timeframe.
Sahi achieves this while charging 50% lower brokerage fees than major incumbents, enabled by lean teams and extensive AI use in platform development.
“The response validates our belief that individual traders deserve professional-grade tools without the complexity,” said Dale Vaz, Co-founder and CEO, and Manish Jain, Co-founder and CPO, in a joint statement. “We’re not incremental in our thinking by building another broking app. Instead, we are redefining the trading customer experience with faster, more efficient trading workflows that keep serious traders in flow state where peak performance happens. This funding accelerates our mission to level the playing field in a market where institutional players capture maximum trading profits.“
Manasi Shah, Vice President at Accel, said, “The future of trading globally is going to be disrupted by AI, and Sahi is racing ahead to be the best in class AI-led trading platform. The Sahi user is the most cutting edge – valuing speed, seamless experience and automation. As Accel, we are excited to double down on Sahi as part of our thesis that AI will disrupt consumer experiences across verticals.”
“Existing tech-first brokers have solved customer access to markets really well; but as users and technology have both matured significantly, there is an opportunity to re-imagine the entire experience ground-up. We believe that Dale and Manish are building with deep customer obsession and have built a never-before seen broking experience, combining all parts of the trader’s journey – research, execution and post-trade. We are thrilled to continue to back them further in this journey.” said Vaas Bhaskar, Partner at Elevation Capital.
The Series A funding will drive product development including advanced automation features as SEBI unlocks algorithmic trading for retail participants, market expansion to reach more active traders across India, and team scaling to support the growing user base. Current automation includes auto trailing stop-loss, with plans for visual no-code strategy builders and multi-leg options execution.
