@gustaf Thank you Gustaf!

I didn't realize you need a US SSN to sign up online at etrade/etc, so really cool there's finally a way for people in India to buy US stocks!
Tyler Burnam
@aaron_epstein Exactly! Our online signup/KYC process is quick, easy, and painless for Indian investors. Thanks Aaron!
Sebastian Hallum Clarke
Awesome work! Do you have plans to help users with stock selection in any way? Access to index funds? Can’t wait to learn more.
Prateek Swain
@sebthedev Thanks Sebastian! Yes we do. Our goal is to make it easier for people to not just invest, but also learn how to invest. Stay tuned :)

@prateek_swain1 when are you guys planning to launch it - I have been tracking it since Augusts - but seems homepage still says register for early access
exex zian
really waited for long - for something like this... how soon can we expect it to be fully available? Hope waitlist won't take too much time :)
Tyler Burnam

This is amazing. Been looking for something like this for a couple years now. It just makes sense and wondering why nobody built this earlier. Cheers to the team and best of luck!
Suhail
This is insane. Been waiting for this so long. Hunted. Any chance you could kick me up the list? Could you put up some info in FAQ about USD--INR conversion charges, remitting INR back to my Indian bank and #of days to credit. Also, any plans of simplifying the resulting tax paperwork that will result from this? I looked up for this kinda brokers sometime back...and not finding any decent solution gave up on it.
Prateek Swain
@kazisuhail Hey Suhail, if you message me your email ID I'll keep a lookout for it ;) Absolutely will do. Yes, we're definitely working on providing the necessary paperwork (in-app) to simplify tax returns especially since the US and India have a Double Taxation Treaty.

This app is exactly what I'm looking for. So far I invest in US company via franklin feeder us opportunities fund, ability to buy stocks directly will be super awesome. Many thanks for building this.

Is it only me or Robinhood's UI was completely ripped off?
Akash
Used to trade FX and US Stocks on some platforms years ago but the 'spread' was so huge that I could barely make money. I have stopped trading for 7-8 years and I am not going to return but no commission on trading is something I'd recommend to my friends and your idea definitely dissolves the borders and enables access to opportunity!
Tyler Burnam
@akkithedude Thank you for the support Akash!

How do you make money if there are no commission?
Raghav Sood
This looks amazing! Definitely fills a pretty significant gap in the current fintech landscape for India, keen to see how it progresses.
Prateek Swain
@raghavsood Thank you so much!

Good work, but how do you make sure that banks don’t harass people for remittances, more importantly does it comply the LRS by RBI?
Spencer Burleigh
@prateek_swain1 Awesome work! Any thought on which stocks will be / have been most traded in?
Prateek Swain
@spencer_burleigh Thanks Spencer! We've definitely heard a lot of demand for Apple in particular, FAANG and a few other blue chip stocks :)

It's impressive that you guys figured out the regulatory hurdles. My mom's a financial advisor and she's ecstatic about this! Can confirm its the new talk around the valley ;)
