Upstox
Ravi started trading when he was 16. A story of him from his teenage years showcases his love for trading and the stock markets – He would use his breaks in high school to call back home to instruct his family members to place a stock purchase order via the phone. His love and passion for trading took him to a short stint at TD Ameritrade’s flagship Thinkorswim trading platform; post which he along with his brother – Raghu, started an automated proprietary trading desk in Chicago, where they successfully turned a few thousand dollars of capital into a few million dollars in three years.
In the midst of the 2008 crash, Ravi and his brother moved to India where they envisaged a tremendous opportunity with growth potential in the country. In 2009, Ravi co-founded the then RKSV Securities along with his brother Raghu Kumar and Shrini Viswanath. He has been instrumental in taking Upstox to the second-largest brokerage in India from its 47th position in 2017.
At the helm of Upstox, Ravi is responsible for overseeing key business decisions and driving corporate strategy. Ravi holds a degree in Computer Science from the University of California–Irvine.
