Geojit Financial Services Ltd. is a publicly listed Indian investment services firm incorporated in 1994 under CIN L67120KL1994PLC008403, with operating roots going back to 1987 and headquarters in Kochi, Kerala. The company runs a multi-product investment platform spanning equity and derivatives brokerage, mutual fund distribution, portfolio management services (PMS), alternative investment funds (AIF), currency and commodity derivatives, IPO distribution, insurance distribution, and depository services. Technology is delivered through proprietary digital platforms (Flip for equity/F&O, FundsGenie for mutual funds, Smartfolios for curated stock baskets, MyGeojit as customer portal, StockWallet for systematic investing) alongside 524 physical branches across India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and a partner/referral channel.

Geojit serves roughly 1.67 million customers across retail investors, high-net-worth individuals (HNI minimum Rs. 50 lakh for PMS), and non-resident Indians (NRIs), holding Rs. 97,056 crore of customer assets under custody as of March 31, 2026.
