Nilgiris Money
Nilgiris Money
Most platforms serving Indian retail investors in global markets are foreign brokerages with an Indian sales agent. Nilgiris Money is the opposite. Built in India, owned in India, run by people who manage real capital — not a customer-acquisition funnel. Six reasons that matters.
Trading global markets used to require a Bloomberg terminal, a foreign bank account, and a willingness to wire money internationally. The LRS framework changed that: every Indian resident can remit up to $250,000 per year to permitted offshore destinations, including international brokers serving Indian clients.
We've already built the operational chain — broker introductions, KYC paths, USDT and wire-deposit options, daily reconciliation. You get global market access without becoming an operations specialist.
LRS · USDT rails · No Bloomberg terminal requiredThis is the difference that should matter most to anyone who has ever read a mutual-fund scam case in the financial press. We never hold your money. Funds sit in a trading account in your name, at a regulated broker. We have permission to trade — and nothing else.
The Limited Power of Attorney that lets us trade can be revoked by you, at any time, with no notice required. You can withdraw your funds independently, on any business day, through the broker. Your account is your account.
Limited Power of Attorney · Revocable · No custody riskMost fund managers earn a fixed fee on assets under management — typically 1–2.5% of your balance per year, whether your account is up or down. The incentive is to gather assets, not to make money for you.
Our economics flip that. The annual enrolment fee covers our cost; the profit-share aligns our income to yours. If your account doesn't grow, we earn nothing beyond the enrolment fee. If it makes new highs, we share in the upside — proportionally and transparently.
High-water mark · Aligned incentives · No fee on drawdownsWe operate as a financial education and technology company, not as an unregistered investment adviser or unauthorised AMC. The legal structure is reviewed by qualified Indian counsel quarterly.
KYC and custody live with the regulated broker partner. Our infrastructure operates within the LRS framework. Every charge is itemised. Every trade is logged with timestamps. The audit trail exists by design — not because a regulator asked.
Education + Technology Co · Quarterly legal review · LRS-compliantEvery business plan has projections; very few have proof. Ours has been tested live — and the conversion economics work.
12% of webinar attendees convert to enrolled clients, on an acquisition cost of roughly ₹250 per qualified lead. The average client deposits around $700 on their first funding round. These aren't aspirational figures — they're what we already see in practice, run small at first deliberately.
12% conversion · ₹250 CAC · $700 average first depositThe Nilgiris Money client base compounds the same way the strategies do — slowly and with discipline. We don't aggressively scale through paid media; we let satisfied clients introduce friends, and we keep the cohort intake calibrated to what the trading desk can actually serve.
This matters operationally: the desk runs the same strategies on its own capital, so onboarding too many clients too fast would dilute the conditions that made the strategies work. We grow the community at a pace that protects the trading.
Founder-led growth · No paid-acquisition arms race · Patient cohortsWe don't pool money. Every client has their own trading account, in their own name, at their broker. We have no AUM that we hold.
We're an Indian firm. The broker partnership is a commercial introduction, not an upstream owner. The strategies and the platform are ours.
There are none in trading. Strategies can have losing weeks. The full risk disclosure is on file and walked through before every funding decision.
We earn through profit-share alignment and a small IB rebate — not through spreads, not through commissions, not through asset accumulation.
