A new term has emerged in the world of finance, “FinTech”, implying Technology aided Financial Services. End Consumers are the ones to benefit the most from such disruptive technological changes. Digital Models are fast replacing the Traditional Models in the world of Finance. Introduction of Artificial Intelligence has added immense value to the process of Digitization especially in the field of Financial Services. In this post, I will discuss about the Best Stock Trading Apps and Platforms in India.

Investment in Stocks, Securities and Commodities is not easy for Individuals who are not associated in the Capital market or have limited knowledge about Investing in such markets. However, the falling interest rates in Fixed Return Investment Products are driving Individuals towards the stock market. In the pursuit of the same, I decided to check out some of the Stock Trade Management applications available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

The idea of the research was to find out an application which is simple to use yet productive in terms of providing right platform for Investment along with feature rich experience to make investment easy. After going through few noteworthy applications, I was able to shortlist the applications and platforms which one may consider for Stock Trading.

Comparison of the Stock Trading Apps and Platforms (Based on End User Application Satisfaction and Trading Experience)

I have tried out the some of the Leading Stock Trading Applications to find out the features offered by them and rated them based on my experience while trying them out. I had set certain parameters on the basis of which I tested out the applications. Most of the applications which I tested offered more or less similar features and functions to its users. However, one of the platforms which particularly caught my attention was the StockNote application which is a flagship product of the Samco Securities, as it had very high rating on the Google Play Store. The best part of the application is that one may register on the application as a Guest via Facebook or Google Plus account and Phone number in order to explore the functionality of the application. Furthermore, I found the user interface of the application to be quite user friendly. Thereby, I was compelled to devout some more time to the app to understand it better.

*Please do note that StockNote application is Trading based application only, it does not have option to let Individuals invest in Mutual Funds. Hence, Individuals looking for Direct Investment in Mutual Fund, may try out some of the other apps that are available.
