Executive Summary

Retail Indian traders — roughly 15 million active accounts — are inundated with noisy data and slow, generic research, leaving many without concise, portfolio-specific trade ideas or the time to construct risk-adjusted trades. This causes missed opportunities and frustration, and most players won’t pay for one-size-fits-all analytics. You could build an AI-native platform that uses LLMs and embeddings to deliver short, explainable, portfolio-aware briefings and trade ideas (including suggested size and stop levels), with backtested signals and a mobile-first UX. Tight broker API integrations would let the app sync watchlists, provide near-real-time alerts, and surface execution-ready ideas through freemium and premium tiers. The market is attractive now: a TAM of about $2.16B (15M traders × $144 annual willingness-to-pay), supported by accelerating demat account growth and higher trading frequency; market and revenue potential scores (88/100 and 78/100) point to meaningful commercial upside. AI advances and increasing broker API availability also lower technical barriers to entry. You can stand out by focusing on India-specific models, transparent, measurable signal performance, and seamless broker sync, but expect real challenges around trust, data quality, regulatory compliance, and competition from brokers that could bundle similar features. If you can reliably demonstrate measurable alpha and a smooth, trusted user experience, this is worth pursuing; otherwise acquisition and retention will be difficult.
