Indian High-Frequency Trading Firms Offer Record Internship Salaries for Quantitative Talent
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. These firms seek candidates skilled in advanced mathematics, programming, and algorithm development to build systems that execute trades at high speeds. The high pay reflects the value of small improvements in trading models that can generate significant returns. Companies like Gurugram-based Quadeye and Graviton Research Capital lead this competitive hiring trend.
