Testimonials
One thing everyone struggles with is not having enough people to share ideas with. Events like this bring together traders, investors, and professionals to connect, share, and evolve—because in this industry, you die if you don’t. It was great to see open discussions around technology and AI, especially in India’s evolving market. This kind of forum really helps push the ecosystem forward.
Siddhartha AgrawalCo-founder, Wallsoft Labs 
What I really loved was the close, intimate setup—it gave us the time to focus, have meaningful conversations, and build connections. A big thank you to the Arjun Global team for organizing such a wonderful event.
Shilpa MalhotraBusiness Development, London Stock Exchange Group 
It’s been a great turnout, engaging in conversations around futures markets, from commodities to crypto. I'm really happy and looking forward to the next one.
Russell RobertsonExpert in Strategic Planning and Revenue Generation 
What Arjun Global does very well is bring a broad range of industry professionals under one roof—not just traders, but also exchange representatives, banking professionals, and more. As someone coming from outside India, it’s a great opportunity to connect with a wide cross-section of the local trading community. That’s exactly why we want to be here and be part of it.
David HelpsHead of International Business Development, TMX 
Amazing event, enough time to network and have a very dedicated session. Met people from the buy side, sell side, had in-depth conversations during the coffee breaks and networking session. Very interesting speakers, topics, amazing moderator. It’s not too small, not too big – proper size, good timing. Thanks again Arjun Global for hosting me. Looking forward to the next one!
Dmitry PakProposition Commodities Specialist, London Stock Exchange Group 
We meet industry participants who are engaging with the markets in different ways—like those from tech backgrounds trying to understand the markets and speak to exchanges. It’s a great forum to collaborate and come together. Young attendees get to learn from experienced professionals, and for those with industry experience, it’s a chance to understand different perspectives. It’s all about learning from each other and growing together as an industry.
Arun GuptaCommodities & Energy Head, Futures First 
Definitely a knowledgeable event—specifically on FGBA and low latency, and how the market thinks. It’s a good mix of how the automated world sees the non-automated side, and vice versa. Traders like to share knowledge and get different market perspectives. These kinds of events bring traders together and build a community. This is a high-risk, high-return industry—not for everyone. But if you’re up for that kind of profile, you can really make it big.
