High-Frequency Trading Firms in India Offer Up to Rs 30 Lakh Monthly Internships
High-frequency trading firms in India are offering record internship salaries, with some paying up to Rs 30 lakh per month, to attract scarce quantitative and engineering talent. Firms like Gurugram-based Quadeye, Graviton Research Capital, and global players such as IMC Trading and Optiver compete for candidates skilled in advanced mathematics, programming, and algorithmic trading. This surge reflects intense demand amid tighter derivatives regulations and a challenging market environment, with internship pay now exceeding typical annual salaries of top business school graduates.
