Connect Trade, a leading provider of infrastructure for the financial markets, announced the opening of its new office in India to meet rising demand from Indian platforms seeking seamless access to U.S. markets.

Through the Connect Trade API, Indian fintech platforms and trading apps can now integrate directly with compliance-approved U.S. retail brokers, thus empowering investors to access U.S. equities and ETFs today, and a full range of asset classes (including options and futures) as regulations permit.

"India's fintech market is expanding at an incredible pace," said Jim Nevotti, CEO of Connect Trade. "We're opening this office to better support the innovative trading platforms being built here. Many of our clients already offer trading on Indian exchanges, and we're helping them go global faster by connecting directly to U.S. markets through our API."

With a single integration, platforms can connect at scale across multiple U.S. brokers, unlocking new asset classes, revenue streams, and user growth opportunities. Connect Trade's presence in India will also accelerate local partnerships and developer support for new entrants in the cross-border trading space.
