Evolution of Advanced Trading Technologies in India

Abstract

In the broader context of technological innovations in markets worldwide, India has seen significant adoption of advanced trading technology in its capital market in the last five years. Because of India’s economic liberalization and the integration of Indian markets with international ones, many of the global changes have found their way into the Indian market, albeit at a slower pace. This trend was boosted by the growth in international participation (both investors as well as service providers) in the Indian market. The increased international participation also forced many domestic players to move up to global standards to remain competitive in the changing environment. This article explores the evolution of advanced trading technologies in India to date.
