Stocktwits eyes India for expansion drawing in Kerala's next-gen retail investors

US-based Stocktwits is now actively looking at India for expanding its footprint. Last year, two million users have joined through the app, web platform and social media handles. Recently, Stocktwits had also seen a significant growth from the next generation of retail investors in Kerala.

In 2022, the platform set its sights on India. The New York-based Stocktwits serves as the primary platform to stay informed about trends in both the Indian and overseas markets. Kerala, with its large urbanised population, spending power, and advanced internet infrastructure, is an exciting market for Stocktwits with many young, digitally savvy retail investors recently joining and contributing to the community, said Mr Shiv Sharma, Vice President (International) and India Head of Stocktwits.

Sharma added that Stocktwits is also targeting to have over 100 SEBI RAs/RIAs on the platform and working closely with corporates and retail participants. Already, over 50 RAs/RIAs are actively sharing analysis in the community.
