8 competitive traders from India with verified public tournament results. 4 carry an independently-audited record.
India hosts the world's largest derivatives retail market, but SEBI's no-gamification rule killed Zerodha's 60-Day Challenge and effectively blocks stock-broker leagues. Activity has shifted to crypto — Pi42's INR perps, CoinDCX Trading Dangal (₹1.3-3.5 Cr pools), WazirX Highest Trader Kaun (recurring weekly), Mudrex Futures Battleground — and the dense B-school circuit (IIT Bombay AlgoNinja ₹10L, IIM-network competitions, Jaipuria FINHAKATHON) routed through Unstop.com.
The cultural centre of gravity for Indian trading contests has shifted from broker leagues to crypto exchange events and the dense university B-school circuit. CoinDCX, WazirX and Pi42 dominate FIU-registered crypto exchange contest activity; Unstop.com (formerly Dare2Compete) aggregates IIT/IIM/IIIT competition flow. Prop-firm interest is growing — FTMO, FundedNext and Apex Trader Funding accept Indian residents — but Indian-domiciled prop firms are still emerging. Tournament-prize season concentrates around festival timing (Diwali, year-end) on the crypto side and academic semester boundaries on the campus side.

The trading-tournaments.com editorial team. Every profile is fact-checked against the trader's tournament sources (exchange announcements, championship archives, brokerage-audited records). Only traders with a verifiable public result appear here. Anonymous, unverified claims are rejected.
Yes: traders (or people with permission from a trader) can submit a profile at /traders/submit. Include a proof link (tournament result page, exchange leaderboard, championship result URL), the trader's public socials, and a short bio. Editorial review runs 3-5 business days and either publishes or requests clarification.
A verified trader carries an independently-audited performance record: typically a broker-audited annual return (Robbins World Cup, U.S. Investing Championship), a third-party track-record verification service (MMVR, Verify My Trade), or a fully-transparent on-chain record. Self-reported returns don't qualify. The ✓ Verified badge on a profile card indicates this status.
