Comprehensive domain and technical expertise
FTIL is one of the global leaders in offering technology IP (Intellectual Property) and domain expertise to create and trade on next-generation financial markets that are transparent, efficient and liquid, across all asset classes including equities, commodities, currencies and bonds, among others.

Your Company leverages its economies of scale in technology, operations, product innovation, clearing, settlement and delivery across the pre-trade, trade and post-trade lifecycle. This drives transaction, lowers impact costs and boosts value efficiencies across the Group's exchanges. Moreover, the opportunity for cross-listing, distribution, margining, arbitrage, clearing, settlement and delivery of products across the Group's exchanges creates an explosive 'network effect' on liquidity and product innovation along with ecosystem partners and market participant community.
DOME is yet another illustration of FTIL’s ‘proactive, self-innovative and self-disruptive’ approach to business. The current version of DOME is 64-bit memory address aware solution, which is more powerful as compared to its earlier versions and superior in terms of response time latency.
 
Experienced Management Team
The Financial Technologies Group is steered by over 60 experts and professionals who serve as Members of the Board, Advisory Board, and Management of FTIL, its subsidiaries and associate companies. Their contributions individually and as a team have been paramount to your Company’s success. These leaders are experts in the financial-technology domain, with over 600 man-years of experience and expertise in varied areas of the business. The leadership has helped us build a world-class organisation that continues to create value for all its stakeholders by meeting the needs of a diverse customer base and imbibing global best practices.
 
 
Technical Innovation
FTIL is a champion of disruptive innovation. It believes in disrupting its own products and productised services from time to time to stay aligned to new requirements and updated technologies. A case in example is ODIN™, your Company’s brokerage solution, which was launched 10 years ago as a 16-bit software, and is today in its third-generation as a 64-bit program. It serves as a front-end software interface, which provides hi-end direct market access to exchanges.
OPPORTUNITIES
The forces of globalisation have changed the contours of the world. Today, we live in a connected world, where markets need to be integrated. Technology has enabled integration of global markets and broadened the participatory base through increased accessibility. There is immense opportunity for the financial markets in India and other emerging markets to develop further. This can happen with a regulatory regime that facilitates market innovations and by the leveraging of technology for faster dissemination of information and seamless transactions. Technology, more than anything else, is the central cog in the mass disruptive innovation that Financial Technologies is able to drive in the financial markets domain.
