Graviton Research Capital

Graviton Research Capital is a high-frequency and quantitative trading firm founded in 2014 by IIT-Delhi classmates Ankit Gupta and Nishil Gupta. Based in Gurugram, it has emerged as “the fastest growing High Frequency Trading firm from India” and now trades in international markets as well.

The firm runs the full research-to-production stack in house: “from research of new strategies via a cutting edge backtesting infrastructure to trading these strategies on in-house ultra low latency trading platforms, we use the latest techniques to detect and exploit inefficiencies in electronically traded markets”. It points to “a team with an enviable track record managing high volumes across various exchanges”.

Graviton operates from Gurugram alongside Mumbai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London and New York. Culturally it makes a point of “breaking away from the traditional secretive quant firm work ethic”, favouring open communication and an environment where researchers “feel free” to experiment.
