Girish V — Founder
MonkTrader has been selected as one of the Top 100 startups across Asia-Pacific for the AWS Accelerator 2025. This milestone validates a very real problem we’re solving for, the kind retail traders feel every single day. The highs of a market win one day. The confusion and second-guessing the next. I’ve lived that journey as a retail trader myself. But I’ve also seen the other side, as President & CTO at a major trading partner, and as VP at a leading fintech product company. I’ve watched how institutions and professional traders rely on structured systems, behavioral insight, and AI-driven logic to stay calm and consistent in the market. That contrast is what led me to build MonkTrader. We’re creating a platform that brings professional-grade tools and AI-powered clarity to everyday traders. But without the jargon, noise, or overcomplication. Here’s a little more about my journey: • 3-time startup founder (plenty of battle scars, and a few proud wins) • Former CXO at Yes Securities, saw firsthand how market mechanics actually work • Author of a sci-fi novel on Amazon (because building things applies to worlds, too) And now, I’m pouring all of that into MonkTrader with one goal in mind: To level the playing field for retail investors. We’re building: • AI that understands how retail traders think under pressure • Signals that filter the noise and anchor you to your own process • A product that supports decision-making with structure, not chaos If you’re curious about: • How AI is quietly changing the way India invests • Lessons from building in fintech and trading • Real stories behind building MonkTrader from the ground up Then hit the ‘Follow’ button and let’s build the future of democratizing wealth creation for retail trading.
