SBICAP Securities partners with Appreciate for global market access via India INX GA, NSEIXGA

SBICAP Securities, a group company of State Bank of India, today announced a strategic partnership with Appreciate Broking IFSC, an IFSC-registered intermediary, to enable retail investors seamless access to international investment opportunities through the regulated GIFT City IFSC ecosystem.

The partnership, which will facilitate international investing through Appreciate, was inaugurated by Challa Sreenivasulu Setty, Chairman - State Bank of India, at the Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai, according to a press release.

Through this partnership, SBICAP Securities enables access across both India INX GA and NSEIXGA – a subsidiary of IFSC Exchange Global Access Providers (GAPs), creating one of India’s most comprehensive global investing platforms. The solution combines SBICAP Securities' trusted customer franchise and distribution capabilities with Appreciate’s full-stack IFSC infrastructure, delivering a seamless and future-ready global investing experience for retail investors.


The platform enables investors to access over 8,000 US-listed stocks and global ETFs across geographies, sectors and asset classes, alongside a planned range of global mutual funds, thematic portfolios, structured products and other international investment opportunities.

This platform also offers a simplified investing journey through a regulated GIFT City route, eliminating the complexity typically associated with international investing. Investors can access products across both exchanges’ subsidiaries without repeated onboarding, while benefiting from seamless remittances, institutional-grade custody, investor protection measures and fully compliant IFSC infrastructure.

Through our partnership, we are bringing a simple, trusted and fully regulated pathway for our customers to access international investment opportunities,” said Baldev Prakash, Managing Director & CEO, SBICAP Securities

The launch comes amid rising interest among Indian investors in global diversification, with international markets delivering strong performance over recent years and investors increasingly seeking exposure to global innovation, technology, healthcare, AI and other long-term growth themes.

"Global investing is becoming an unmissable component of wealth creation for Indian investors. Through this partnership, we take great pride in combining the trust and reach of SBICAP Securities with Appreciate's infrastructure to deliver a seamless investing experience through GIFT City.
