The remaining three cities recorded 96 per cent trades under NSE on the TradeSmart platform.
TradeSmart spokesperson Vikas Singhania, CEO, TradeSmart said, “The number of traders and trading volumes are increasing exponentially on our platform every year. We are happy to share that millennials and Gen Z are leading this growth trend, which can be attributed to the extreme bull and bear market cycles in the last two years due to the pandemic. Other reasons are rise in usage of smart phones, growing awareness around trading, and the availability of user-friendly and discount trading platforms like TradeSmart simplifying the stock trading process.”
He further added, “Based on customer portfolio study, we can see today’s young generation is even considering trading as a full-time career path. Many people even see it as a side hustle to earn additional monthly income through Intraday Trading. We strongly believe this trend will continue to grow, with discount and tech-enabled brokerage firms being drivers and game-changers in this space. Our plans for 2022 are aligned to capitalize on the trend.”
