SAHI Becomes the Only Indian Stock-Broking Platform on Forbes Asia 100 to Watch List 2026

• Recognised among Asia-Pacific's rising companies for its technology-led approach to building a high-performance trading platform

BENGALURU, India, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SAHI, the high-performance trading platform operated by Aaritya Broking, has been named to the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch List 2026 under the Finance category. The annual list spotlights emerging companies and startups making a significant impact across the Asia-Pacific region.

SAHI is among 19 Indian companies featured this year—the highest representation from any country. The sixth edition of the list includes companies from 16 countries and territories and recognises them based on factors such as innovation, market fit, industry impact, business model, revenue growth and the ability to attract funding.

Founded in 2023 by ex-Swiggy CTO, Dale Vaz and former Kotak Securities Executive, Manish Jain, SAHI has been built for performance-driven traders, bringing together AI-powered insights, advanced charting and trading capabilities across equities, futures and options. The platform has crossed five million downloads as of early August 2026 and offers a flat brokerage fee of ₹10 per trade.

Commenting on the recognition, Dale Vaz, Co-founder and CEO, SAHI, said, "Being named to the Forbes Asia 100 to Watch List is an important milestone for SAHI and a strong validation of the platform we are building. India's trading community is becoming increasingly sophisticated and expects technology that can simplify market analysis without compromising on speed or depth. Our focus remains on combining AI, intuitive design and institutional-grade capabilities to help traders operate with greater clarity and efficiency. This recognition strengthens our commitment to building a globally benchmarked trading platform from India."

The recognition follows SAHI's US$33 million Series B funding round, led by Accel, with participation from Elevation Capital, announced earlier this year. The company continues to invest in technology, product innovation and platform capabilities as it strengthens its position in India's rapidly evolving broking ecosystem.
