Share By Rajesh Dangi Artificial intelligence is no longer a frontier technology.

Share As AI reshapes both sides of the cybersecurity battle — arming attackers with faster, smarter tools while giving defenders new ways to fight back — few markets sit at the center of this shift like India.

Share For decades, India’s technology centres built their reputation on scale. The next chapter, however, is being written around a different metric: ownership. At Equiniti India, that shift is increasingly visible in the work being undertaken.

Share FYERS has announced the launch of a new suite of advanced trading tools powered by AI and automation. The new capabilities are designed around a simple observation: not every trader trades the same way. Some trade on rules, while others trade on instincts. FYERS is building for both. Markets have traditionally brought together two distinct types of traders. Systematic traders work with defined setups and rules, seeking consistent execution without manual intervention.
