Mumbai, India – August 24, 2025:
MonkTrader.ai, an AI-powered stock discovery and decision-making platform for retail investors, has raised ₹2.4 crore in pre-seed funding. The round was led by a group of early-stage investors from India and Singapore with strong expertise in financial markets and technology.
Founded in 2024, MonkTrader is building an AI-first platform designed to simplify investing for India’s fast-growing retail investor community. The platform enables users to analyze fundamentals, technical indicators, futuristic themes, sector trends, institutional holdings, and AI-driven insights in one intuitive platform.
This fresh infusion of capital will be used to accelerate product development, strengthen AI and engineering capabilities, and expand go-to-market initiatives to reach millions of retail investors across India.

This funding will help us scale faster and deliver insights that genuinely improve outcomes for every user.”

In the coming year, the company plans to launch advanced AI scoring models, portfolio analysis tools, and voice-enabled scanning to further empower its users.
