Tradl raises $4.1 Mn seed round from Nexus, Stellaris
Bengaluru-based AI-powered trading platform Tradl has raised $4.1 Mn (about ₹40 Cr) in a seed round, according to sources cited by Inc42.
The round was backed by Nexus Venture Partners and Stellaris Venture Partners, with participation from a few angel investors. The startup's MCA filing further confirmed the fundraise.
Tradl was founded in 2025 by Shubham Bansal and Nilesh Raj, both IIT Guwahati graduates. Bansal previously spent around five years at Goldman Sachs, while Raj worked at fintech startup Stable Money.
Tradl combines AI with quantitative analysis to help retail traders identify opportunities, analyse stocks, and test trading strategies. According to Tradl, its AI interprets natural-language queries and translates them into instructions for its quantitative engine. The engine then processes market data using fixed rules to generate consistent results for the same query and dataset.

The toolkit includes an AI-powered stock screener, technical charts, and backtesting tools that allow users to test trading strategies against historical market data. It also helps traders track sector rotation and monitor corporate events that could influence stock prices.
Chart pattern alerts, broader market insights and personalised option chains are listed on Tradl's website, but are marked as available through private access. The company lists the NSE, the BSE and the MCX as exchange partners, and CMOTS as a data partner.
Tradl's stated aim is to give retail traders access to the depth of analysis typically available to institutional trading desks.
The fundraise comes amid growing investment in Indian AI startups. The segment attracted $438 Mn across 35 deals in Q3 2026, up 265% YoY, making it the most-funded sector during the quarter. Investment and stock broking platform Trackk raised $3.7 Mn in a seed round led by Lightspeed, with participation from Info Edge Ventures, earlier this year. IPO-bound investment advisory platform StockGro raised ₹110 Cr from existing backers as part of its ongoing Series B round.
