Upstox is an Indian discount broker and retail financial services platform, incorporated as RKSV Securities India Private Limited, and headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Founded in 2009 by Ravi Kumar, Shrinivas Viswanath, and Kavitha Subramanian, the company originally traded as RKSV before rebranding to Upstox in 2016. The company is notable for an early investment by Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of the Tata Group, and for a US$25 million Series B round by Tiger Global Management in 2019. Upstox is consistently ranked among the top five Indian stockbrokers by NSE-active client count, with approximately 2.5-3 million active clients as of early 2026. The platform is technically oriented, offering a publicly documented third-party developer API that supports algorithmic trading integrations, a feature that distinguishes it from several larger competitors.
