Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global provider of technology platforms for capital markets, has announced plans to offer direct connectivity to the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) by 2026. This move comes in response to rising demand from both domestic and international clients seeking to trade Indian markets.

TT has been officially approved as an empaneled NSE vendor after completing the agreement to establish direct connectivity through the exchange’s co-location data center. This status allows TT to deliver high-speed, institutional-grade market access to one of the world’s most actively traded exchanges through its award-winning platform.

Shridhar Sheth, Executive Vice President and Head of India and the Middle East, stated that global clients are increasingly interested in diversifying their trading strategies and tapping into India’s growing market liquidity. He noted that becoming an empaneled vendor and setting up direct co-location access to the NSE highlights TT’s commitment to expanding global trading opportunities without geographical limitations.

Once connected, clients trading on the NSE will have access to TT’s full suite of tools, including execution algorithms, Autospreader®, ADL®, charting and analytics, and APIs.

In 2025, TT processed over three billion derivatives transactions and remains one of the most widely used platforms worldwide for futures and options trading, with increasing adoption across other asset classes. The platform also received multiple industry awards in 2025, including Trading System of the Year and Derivatives Trading System of the Year at the FOW Asia Pacific Awards.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
Our DE&I vision is clear: 

 
DE&I Guiding Principles
In FY24, we made significant strides in diversity, equity, and inclusion through internal initiatives, employee development, talent acquisition, and engagement. Remarkably, our gender pay gap was less than 1%, with a 99% pay equity ratio for women compared to men among full-time nonexecutive employees. We also set goals to achieve gender and racial parity in leadership and non-leadership roles by FY26. In FY23, we reached gender parity in leadership roles, maintaining 28% representation in FY24, and improved leadership representation for people of color by 2%, reaching 25%.
 
We hold ourselves accountable by linking progress on these goals to leadership performance evaluations, impacting bonus compensation. To foster diverse leadership, we promote diverse candidate slates, eliminate bias in recruitment processes, and offer leadership development programs like the AcceleratHER Women’s Leadership Academy and others aimed at underrepresented groups.
 
Additionally, we continue to improve workplace practices to remove barriers, enhance inclusion, and ensure equitable opportunities for all employees. This includes DE&I training for recruiters and managers, diversifying talent sourcing tools, and partnerships with organizations like historically Black colleges and universities, DisabilityIN, and Women in Tech. As a result, women represent 32% and people of color 57% of our job candidates.
 
Commitment to Small and Diverse Businesses
We believe small and diverse businesses are vital to a dynamic contractor ecosystem and essential to meeting our government customers' needs. Our company actively supports these businesses by offering mentoring, contracting opportunities, and expanding partnerships with diverse suppliers. In FY24, we spent over $420 million with small, diverse-owned businesses, which has been recognized by several industry awards, including the 2023 Small Business Industry Large Prime of the Year and the 2022 National Veterans Small Business Advocate of the Year.
