In an era when trading moves at the speed of code, Kotak Securities presenting AlphaTrade 2025 emerges as a timely confluence of instruction, innovation, and execution. Conceived by Moneycontrol in collaboration with Investroop — a Quantman.in venture — the summit will make its debut in Mumbai on August 30 at the Bombay Stock Exchange. The event is also partnered by Groww, DeltaExchange, Kubergrow Financials. The Chennai edition is scheduled for 28th September which is presented by Exchange1.com and partnered by Kubergrow Financials.
More than a symposium, AlphaTrade is envisaged as a marketplace of ideas across asset classes — equities, futures & options (F&O), automated trading models, and crypto strategies. Notably, Kotak Securities steps in as the Title Partner for the Mumbai edition, while Delta Exchange and Groww join as Associate Partners.
Algo Trading: From Niche to Mainstream
Algorithmic trading — where trades are executed through pre-programmed systems — is no longer limited to institutional titans. It now accounts for over 57% of equity cash trades and nearly 70% of derivatives transactions in India, according to recent data.
This surge comes on the heels of SEBI’s historic move on August 1, which allowed retail investors to formally participate in algo trading under a regulated framework — ushering an era of transparency and accessibility with built-in safety measures like a mandated “kill switch”.
AlphaTrade: Charting the Course for Algo Enthusiasts
Against this backdrop, AlphaTrade aims to be more than a conference — it aspires to be a gateway. Structured in progressive modules, the summit will anchor participants in fundamentals before delving into complex strategies, from the Smart Futures & Options Playbook and rapid “Excel-to-algo” demonstrations to hybrid crypto-derivatives models and sentiment-driven signal automation.
What sets AlphaTrade apart isn't just its breadth but its timing. As India’s algo trading ecosystem accelerates — with growth projections reaching up to USD 2.3 billion by 2030 at a 14.3% CAGR — there is palpable hunger for knowledge, regulation-compliance, and execution savvy.
The Stage: Bombay Stock Exchange
The Bombay Stock Exchange, India’s oldest equity bourse, is more than a setting — it’s a symbol. It opens its hallowed halls for a full-day summit (9 a.m.–6 p.m.) on August 30, inviting both newcomers and seasoned practitioners into its trading floor environment. Among the confirmed speakers are Samir Doshi (Marwadi Shares & Finance), Vijay Thakre (Trading Educator), and Tanmay Kurtkoti (QC Alpha), with a broader ensemble expected to span quant veterans, fund managers, and edu-preneurs.
A Generational Moment for Indian Traders
AlphaTrade arrives at a moment that could well be seen as a pivot in India’s trading narrative. Retail algos — once informal, experimental, and opaque — are entering the mainstream under the watchful gaze of regulators. The risks are real, from flash crashes to system glitches. But so are the rewards: faster execution, reduced emotional bias, systemic scalability.
Sessions at AlphaTrade are practical, action-oriented, and forward-looking. Whether building a momentum-based F&O strategy or devising a sentiment-triggered algo for Bank Nifty, participants will leave with frameworks they can test, refine, and deploy.
With early bird registrants snapped up at ₹999 until August 15 (rising to ₹1,499 thereafter), the summit blends exclusivity with approachability, community with curation.
As India bridges retail passion with institutional techniques, AlphaTrade stands poised to be both a marker on the story and a catalyst for what comes next.
