MarketWolf, a company founded in 2017 by Vishesh Dhingra and Thomas Joseph, caters to novice investors by making trading simple and free of jargon. According to the business, it only charges brokerage fees on profitable transactions, enabling customers to better manage risks and make trading decisions regardless of market conditions.

Arpit Beri, Principal at Jungle Ventures said that “retail participation in the stock market in India continues to remain abysmally low at 3-5% and MarketWolf can help change that.
