Cross-border investing is heating up in India: traders want NASDAQ-100 exposure in INR and through Indian brokers, plus AI bots placing orders on Zerodha [1][2].
Cross-border US exposure from India NSE lists US-tracker ETFs like MON100, MONQ50, MASPTOP 50, and MAFANG, and you can invest in them from India via brokers like Groww [1]. Some wonder about direct US stock trading versus ETFs; Vested reminds you to understand the underlying assets, fees, and tax, echoing Warren Buffett’s caution to never invest in what you don’t understand [1].
Automation on Indian platforms A growing thread shows Comet buying stocks on Zerodha without manual clicks, including IPOs like LG Electronics [2]. Another post mentions weaving an AI trading partner called āagman into trades, signaling deeper automation in Indian markets [2].
Participation and growth context A graphic points out that only about 9.5% of Indians invest in stocks, with a TAM near 135 million people; the market is expanding as platforms like Zerodha and Groww push past multi-crore user milestones [3]. The trend lines up with fintech expanding reach beyond domestic investing [3].
Bottom line: fintech is widening how Indians access US assets, while automation and AI trading tools push everyday investing toward the future.
