TL;DR: Mochatrade lets Indians trade perpetual futures on US stocks (TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, 50+ tickers) with up to 50x leverage. Deposit INR via UPI, trade and withdraw to your bank. No US brokerage, self-custodial.

The problem: India is the largest retail derivatives market in the world with ~60% of global equity derivatives volumes (~$30Bn per day), eclipsing the US market. 140M+ Indians hold trading accounts. They want US stock exposure but have been locked out.

Today they have three bad options:

• Hold US stock as spot through regulated brokers (Vested, INDmoney) with offshore bank accounts: $250K remittance cap, T+2 settlement, no leverage, no shorting, not 24/7, painful Tax handling
• Offshore CFD shops: opaque pricing, sketchy custody, no INR rail, regulatory black hole
• Crypto Exchanges such as CoinDCX which are catered towards crypto audiences. Majority of Indian daytraders don't understand 'crypto wallets' and 'gas fees'.

Neither matches what an Indian F&O trader actually does and wants - every day leveraged derivatives, in INR.
