Raise Financial Services, the parent company of Dhan, has acquired algorithmic investing and trading platform Stratzy through a cash-and-stock deal. The company announced the acquisition on April 21; however, it did not disclose the financial details of the transaction.
Stratzy currently offers more than 100 approved algorithms across equities, indices, futures and options (F&O), and commodities. Moreover, the platform allows users to deploy pre-built, research-backed trading strategies, thereby positioning itself as a critical bridge between retail investors and systematic, rule-based trading approaches.
Commenting on the development, Pravin Jadhav, Founder and CEO, Raise Financial Services, said, “Algorithmic trading adoption among retail traders is expected to rise significantly. Stratzy’s strength in strategies and execution aligns with our vision of building a tech-first platform.”
Following the acquisition, Stratzy will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Raise while continuing to function independently. At the same time, the company will prioritise expanding its product portfolio, strengthening its technology infrastructure, and enhancing overall user experience to meet growing demand in the algorithmic trading space.
Sharing his perspective, Mohit Bhandari, Co-founder and CEO of Stratzy, said the partnership would provide access to scale and infrastructure. Additionally, Gaurav Sangle, CTO, Stratzy, added that Raise’s support would help improve the platform’s technology and execution capabilities.
Notably, this acquisition comes at a time when retail participation in algorithmic trading continues to grow rapidly. This trend is further supported by clearer regulatory frameworks and increased access to APIs and automation tools, which enable more investors to adopt systematic trading strategies.
Raise Financial Services, which also operates platforms such as Fuzz AI, Upsurge, and Filter Coffee, has steadily expanded its ecosystem of technology-driven financial solutions. In addition, Dhan is reportedly in discussions to acquire Bengaluru-based wealth-tech firm Infinyte Club for approximately $10 million in a cash-and-equity deal, signaling a broader inorganic growth strategy.
Furthermore, its API stack, DhanHQ, and its marketplace for algorithmic strategies already include integrations with platforms such as Stratzy. Therefore, the latest acquisition strengthens existing synergies within Raise’s ecosystem.
With this strategic move, Raise plans to introduce a curated and managed layer of algorithmic investing on Dhan. Consequently, the company aims to make rule-based, system-driven investment strategies more accessible to a wider base of retail investors, thereby accelerating adoption of fintech innovation in India’s trading landscape.
Raise Financial Services’ acquisition of Stratzy highlights its commitment to advancing algorithmic trading and expanding its fintech ecosystem. As retail investors increasingly adopt automated and data-driven investment strategies, this move positions Raise to capitalise on the growing demand for scalable, technology-first trading solutions in India.
