QI Brokerage

What QI Brokerage does

QI-CAP Investments Private Limited, operating under the brands QI-CAP, QICIPL, and QiCAP.Ai, is a privately held quantitative investment and trading firm headquartered in Mumbai, India. The firm deploys proprietary quantitative models and high-frequency trading infrastructure — developed and maintained by an in-house team of engineers and mathematicians — to capture opportunities across multiple asset classes in Indian markets. It self-positions as one of India's largest quant investing firms and maintains offices across Mumbai, Bangalore, GIFT City, Delhi, Singapore, and Dubai, with the international offices serving as regional hubs for cross-border client engagement.

The firm's product surface is organised around two primary client segments. Professional traders are served with cutting-edge execution strategies and low-latency high-frequency trading infrastructure. Family offices are offered quantitative investment solutions explicitly marketed as sources of uncorrelated alpha intended to diversify conventional portfolio holdings. No individual product names, modules, APIs, or third-party integrations are publicly disclosed, and the firm's technology differentiators are framed around proprietary method architecture and execution speed rather than off-the-shelf platforms.

Revenue is generated through investment management and trading services, most plausibly a combination of management and/or performance fees on assets under management alongside execution-related economics, though no pricing, AUM, or fee structure is publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting institutional and high-net-worth clients; the firm operates no third-party distribution channels, has no disclosed partnerships or alliances, and has no publicly disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or regulatory actions on record.
