Investors can start from $1 as Bigul leverages GIFT City’s regulatory framework and partners with ViewTrade for seamless global access
Bigul, the digital trading platform of Bonanza Portfolio Ltd., has rolled out a new investment service that allows Indian residents and non-resident Indians (NRIs) to invest in US stocks and ETFs via GIFT City. Announced on Thursday, the initiative is powered by Bonanza Portfolio (IFSC) Pvt. Ltd. in partnership with US-based brokerage technology firm ViewTrade, reported businesstoday.in.
The service enables investments starting from just $1, simplifying cross-border investing under India’s IFSC regulatory regime and tapping into growing demand for global exposure.
Operating under GIFT City’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) regulations, the service aligns with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), FEMA, and FATCA guidelines.
The offering allows investors to access fractional share ownership, extended trading hours, and integrated tax-efficient strategies, making global wealth creation more accessible than ever
“This partnership embodies our commitment to democratising global wealth creation. We aim to empower every investor to build futures beyond borders,” said Bhanu Pratap, CEO of Bonanza Portfolio (IFSC). Sanjay Shah, CTO of Bigul, added that the feature will be fully integrated into Bigul’s Super App by August, enabling clients to manage both domestic and global portfolios from a single platform.
The integration marks Bigul’s strategic move to streamline domestic and international investing, supported by ViewTrade’s backend infrastructure powering over $500 billion in annual trades.
GIFT City’s business-friendly regulations and tax incentives have made it a growing hub for international financial services. Bigul’s initiative joins a broader trend among Indian brokerages to respond to rising interest in offshore investing, offering users a seamless experience that covers Indian equities, mutual funds, and now, US assets under one digital roof.
