Bengaluru-based trading platform Sahi has raised $33 million in a Series B funding round led by Accel Growth with participation from Elevation Capital and Accel India. This investment brings the firm to a $200 million valuation just over a year after its initial launch. Sahi focuses on providing a high-performance broking interface for active retail traders and technologists who require high-speed execution and precision.
The company plans to utilize the new capital to broaden its suite of wealth management products including mutual funds, commodity trading, and margin trade funding. By shipping over 40 product releases in its first year and processing 130 million trades, the platform has demonstrated a robust technical infrastructure. This level of rapid iteration and data processing suggests a strategic application of high-volume automation to maintain its competitive edge in the retail brokerage sector.
This growth aligns with the broader industry theme regarding the best and worst uses of artificial intelligence. While many firms struggle with AI implementation in regulated advice, Sahi leverages sophisticated technical architecture to handle massive transaction volumes and rapid product scaling. This focus on backend efficiency and user engagement represents a successful use case for advanced technology in the WealthTech space as the firm scales its operations for 400,000 demat accounts.
Knote: The Bengaluru Express keeps rolling. I'm noting two US VCs in this one. Granted, Accel has been on this for a while, but is the West starting to awaken?
