MonkTrader.ai, an AI-powered stock discovery and decision-making platform for retail investors, has raised ₹2.4 crore in pre-seed funding. The round was led by early-stage investors from India and Singapore with strong expertise in financial markets and technology.
Founded in 2024, MonkTrader is building an AI-first platform designed to simplify investing for India’s fast-growing retail investor community. The platform enables users to analyze fundamentals, technical indicators, futuristic themes, sector trends, institutional holdings and AI-driven insights in one intuitive platform. This fresh infusion of capital will be used to accelerate product development, strengthen AI and engineering capabilities, and expand go-to-market initiatives to reach millions of retail investors across India.
“Retail investors in India are flooded with information but lack the professional, intuitive systems that large institutions use. Our vision is to create an AI-powered decision-making platform that levels the playing field for smart retail investors. At MonkTrader.ai, we understand that for the middle-class investor, investing isn’t just about chasing returns. It is about protecting your family’s future, fulfilling dreams, and finding peace of mind in uncertain times. Every rupee saved and invested carries a story of sacrifice, hope and responsibility. That’s why our mission is to give you not just numbers, but the clarity and confidence to make decisions that truly matter. To every retail investor reading this, we'd like to say that the journey to financial freedom is not reserved for the privileged few. It belongs to you too. With courage, discipline and the right tools, your tomorrow can be brighter than today.” said Girish Venkatasubramanian, Founder & CEO of YGFintech Private Limited, the company that has created MonkTrader.ai.
