Built by traders.
For the Indian desk.
We started MarginPlant because the brokers we used were either fast and opaque, or transparent and slow. None of them treated retail traders like the serious customers they are. So we built the one we wanted — and put it on the open internet for everyone.
Mission
Give every Indian trader the same execution speed, risk tooling and statutory transparency that a Mumbai prop desk gets — on a single fast terminal, at a flat-fee price. No tiering. No "premium" upsells gating real features.
Vision
An India where retail traders pick their broker on the quality of the platform, not the size of the advertising budget. Where "₹20 flat" is the floor, not a discount. Where the contract note reads exactly the way SEBI prescribes — line by line.
How we make decisions when no one is watching.
Four rules — written down, taped to the wall, debated on every PR.
Trader-first, always
Every product call is reviewed by an active trader on the team. If it makes the desk slower, it doesn't ship — no matter how good the deck looks.
Transparent by default
Brokerage, statutory charges, margin formula and order-matching logic are documented in plain English. No 'premium tier' to unlock the truth.
Built for India
IST hours, Indian holiday calendar, Verhoeff-checked Aadhaar, GST-correct contract notes — the boring stuff done right so your CA never has a question.
Move fast, don't break the ledger
Engineering ships weekly. The ledger system is double-entry, append-only and reconciled hourly — speed never comes at the cost of your money.
Three founders, one ledger, zero shortcuts.
Three founders quit their desks at a Mumbai prop shop. Built the first matching engine prototype in 9 weeks.

Public registration opened. Crypto, MCX and currency F&O added. Mobile app rolled out on both stores.
14+ live segments. ISO 27001 audit in flight. Working on a research-grade option-chain analyser.
A small team that ships every week.
We're 22 people across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Pune. Half are active traders. The other half wishes they had time to be.
