Exclusive: AI-Powered Trading Platform Tradl Bags $4.1 Mn From Nexus, Stellaris

Bengaluru-based AI trading startup Tradl has secured $4.1 million in seed funding from venture capital firms Nexus Venture Partners and Stellaris Venture Partners, according to sources cited by Inc42. The additional participation of angel investors was confirmed by MCA filings related to Tradl. The funding announcement came without any immediate response from Tradl, Stellaris, or Nexus for inquiries.

Tradl was established in 2025 by former Goldman Sachs employees Shubham Bansal and Nilesh Raj, both graduates of IIT Guwahati. Their platform integrates AI with quantitative analysis to aid retail traders in identifying trading opportunities, analyzing stocks, and testing trading strategies. Key features of Tradl include an AI-powered stock screener, technical charting, backtesting tools for strategy validation, sector rotation tracking, corporate event monitoring, and personalized option chains, though some advanced features are reportedly only accessible privately.

The startup's AI system is designed to process natural language queries and deliver consistent results based on predetermined rules. Tradl has partnered with the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), and CMOTS for data. The $4.1 million funding round marks a trend of increased investment in Indian AI startups, with the sector receiving $438 million across 35 deals in Q3 2026, representing a 265% year-over-year increase.

Competing platforms like Trackk and StockGro are also leveraging AI technologies to offer sophisticated investment and trading tools to retail investors.
