Algo trading platforms in India
The execution and automation layer around the brokers we track: official broker APIs, no-code strategy builders, backtesting tools and the institutional vendors behind broker dealing desks. Platform details are curated and verified against each platform's own material (not regulator filings), so treat them as a directory, not an endorsement.
