Indian stock-broking platform SAHI has been named to the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch List 2026 under the Finance category, making it the only Indian stock-broker to earn a spot on this year’s list. Founded in 2023 by former Swiggy CTO Dale Vaz and ex-Kotak Securities executive Manish Jain, the tech-focused platform targets performance-driven traders with a flat brokerage fee of ₹10 per trade alongside AI-powered charting and trading tools for equities, futures, and options.
SAHI was selected as one of 19 Indian enterprises on the list—the highest country representation this year—based on metrics including market impact, innovation, revenue growth, and funding appeal. The company achieved over five million app downloads by early August 2026. Founder and CEO Dale Vaz noted that the recognition validates SAHI’s mission to provide institutional-grade speed, clarity, and analytical tools to an increasingly sophisticated domestic trading market.
The accolade comes on the heels of SAHI securing US$33 million in a Series B funding round led by Accel, with continued participation from Elevation Capital. Management plans to direct the new capital toward product development and tech infrastructure, bolstering its position as it competes in India’s rapidly expanding discount brokerage sector.
