SEBI framework opens AI algorithmic trading to Indian retail investors
AI-driven algorithmic trading is now becoming increasingly accessible among Indian retail investors, with SEBI's 4 February 2025 framework, making it more accessible than ever.
What used to be largely restricted to institutions and sophisticated traders is now open to retail investors, thanks to easy-to-use tools like zero-code platforms and trading APIs.
As Shruti Jain from Arihant Capital puts it, automation helps everyday traders avoid emotional decisions and stick to their strategies.
No-code AI trading attracts young Indians
Trading in India has come a long way, moving from trading floors to mobile apps and now AI is the latest upgrade.
Platforms like ArihantPlus let beginners build strategies using simple AI prompts with no coding needed, which is especially appealing for younger investors who want tech doing the heavy lifting instead of manual trades.
With over 22.5 crore demat accounts as of the end of FY2026, this shift points to massive growth ahead as more people tap into smart trading tools.
