EXECUTIVE OPINION:

Stockal Founders Sitashwa Srivastava and Vinay Bharathwaj said, “The last couple of years have highlighted that there is tremendous appetite among retail investors to make their money borderless and they will make the leap provided the required ecosystem is available. We are working very closely with banks and regulators in all our markets to make Stockal an extremely seamless platform."

Simon Kim, CEO and Managing Partner at Hashed, said, “We are very bullish on the global investing trend. As financial boundaries are becoming smaller, people in Asia are looking at investing options which are global and democratic. We believe Stockal has the right ingredients to build global leadership in this space."
