Algorithmic Trading's Next Frontier: Education and Responsible Adoption Amidst Regulatory Shifts
Algorithmic trading is rapidly reshaping global capital markets, transitioning from an institutional niche to a widespread force. Automated trading strategies now account for over half the volumes on major exchanges, with increasing accessibility for individual investors and financial professionals. This evolution, however, highlights a critical need for enhanced understanding, robust education, and clear regulatory frameworks to ensure market efficiency and investor protection. The momentum driving this shift is significant and quantifiable. The global algorithmic trading market was valued at an estimated USD 21.06 billion in 2024 and is projected to surge to USD 42.99 billion by 2030, reflecting a substantial 12.9% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2030. This impressive growth, according to Grand View Research, is largely propelled by the increasing integration of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into algorithmic trading solutions. As the market expands and technology advances, regulatory bodies globally are responding with clearer guidelines. Recent frameworks, such as those introduced by India's capital market regulator (SEBI) effective August 1, 2025, signal a universal commitment to formalizing algorithmic trading, particularly for retail participants. These initiatives aim to improve compliance and foster responsible adoption, thereby creating a more robust and secure ecosystem for automated strategies worldwide. "The advent of cloud infrastructure, coupled with the rise of AI, is generating immense interest in algorithmic trading," observes Nitesh Khandelwal, Co-founder and Director of QuantInsti. "While the evolving regulatory landscape aims to build a strong foundation for the adoption of technology and quantitative methods, there remains a critical need to bridge education gaps and provide access to the right tools and platforms for both professionals and new entrants." The increasing sophistication of financial technology, coupled with market growth, means that continuous skill development is no longer optional for market participants. Mastering the development, testing, and compliant deployment of algorithmic strategies is fast becoming an essential competency in modern finance. In direct response to this growing industry demand, organizations are stepping up to provide critical educational resources. For instance, QuantInsti is hosting a complimentary online session, "Build Your Quant Portfolio: First Steps into Algorithmic Trading," on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 8:30 AM EST (5:30 AM PST / 6:00 PM IST). This webinar will feature expert perspectives from seasoned practitioners including Jay Parmar (Quantitative Researcher, iRage), Mrinall Mahajan (Vice President at a leading global asset management firm), Tomás V. García-Purriños (Senior Asset Allocation Strategist at a prominent global bank's asset management division), and Rohan Mathews (Global Business Head, QuantInsti). The session aims to offer practical insights into developing data-driven trading strategies, understanding the role of machine learning in financial models, and navigating real-world career transitions within quantitative finance. This initiative reflects a broader industry movement to democratize access to advanced financial knowledge and cultivate a skilled workforce capable of navigating the complexities of automated markets. As algorithmic trading continues to reshape how capital markets operate, driven by significant market expansion and technological innovation, the emphasis on comprehensive education and adherence to evolving regulatory guidelines will be paramount for sustained growth and long-term industry stability. About QuantInsti: QuantInsti is a pioneering global algorithmic trading research and education institute. It focuses on empowering financial professionals and aspiring quants worldwide through educational programs and technology solutions, aiming to contribute to the global financial markets' growth and inclusion.

Sambhav Steels Among 5 Upcoming IPOs, SEBI Eases ESOP Rules Ahead of Busy Listing Week
The Indian IPO landscape is set to record a busy week, with five new IPOs hitting the market, Sambhv Steel Tubes Limited's initial public offer (IPO) of equity shares will debut on June 25 and SEBI issues ESOP reforms. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Sambhv Steel Tubes Limited's initial public offer (IPO) of equity shares will debut on June 25. According to the company, the total offer size is INR 540 crore, comprising fresh issues of up to INR 440 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) component of up to INR 100 crore, by the promoters selling shares. Bidding for anchor investors is set for June 24. The price band of the IPO is set at INR 77-82 per equity share, with bids to be made for a minimum of 182 equity shares and in multiples of 182 equity shares thereafter. The company said in a release that the net proceeds from the fresh issue of equity shares will be used towards pre-payment or scheduled repayment of a portion of outstanding borrowings, and the remaining amount will go toward corporate expenses. The IPO also consists of the Employee Reservation Portion, with a discount of INR 4 per equity share being offered for eligible employees. (Nuvama Wealth Management Limited and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Limited are the Book Running Lead Managers (BRLMs) to the Issue. SEBI issues ESOP reforms Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India recently rolled out ESOP reforms, especially relaxed rules that allow unexercised options to be retained post-listing Roma Priya, Founder, Burgeon Law, believes that the SEBI's decision to allow startup founders to hold ESOPs granted up to a year prior to listing represents a pivotal shift in how India views founder incentives in the public markets. For many years, the regulatory structure inadvertently discouraged long-term founder alignment by excluding them from key benefit structures during IPO preparation. This move is not only poised to correct the said imbalance but also sends a strong signal of regulatory maturity and startup sensitivity. "From a strategic lens, this reform strengthens the startup ecosystem's transition from private to public markets by reinforcing founder retention, reducing post-IPO churn, and making listing a more viable aspiration for younger companies. Having worked closely with hundreds of growth-stage founders, I believe this will directly encourage more startups to start preparing for public exits early, with stronger governance, cap table clarity, and structured ESOP planning as part of that journey, " said Priya. Buzzing IPO Week The Indian IPO landscape is set to record a busy week, with five new IPOs hitting the market, with the surge following a steady build-up in investor enthusiasm, reflecting the ongoing appetite for fresh equity offerings. "Market sentiment remains broadly constructive, driven by improving macroeconomic indicators, favorable liquidity conditions, and increasing participation from both institutional and retail investors. The strong performance of recent listings continues to bolster confidence and encourage broader engagement in the primary market," said Bajaj Broking in its weekly IPO lookout. The stockbroking company said that the upcoming IPOs are offering investors a mix of diverse sector opportunities, which is further reinforcing the depth and vibrancy of India's capital markets. Bajaj Broking predicts that the primary market could well surpass expectations for the first half of FY26.

Dayanidhi Maran's legal notice to Kalanithi Maran: Sun TV says it is a 'family matter' of the promoter
"We wish to inform that all acts have been done in accordance with legal obligations and the same have been duly vetted by concerned intermediaries before the public issue of the Company," the letter sent by the firm's Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Ravi Ramamoorthy, said. Dayanidhi, in his legal notice sent to Kalanithi on June 10, 2025, had alleged that his brother and the others named in the notice, which included Ramamoorthy, had misled the public by providing falsified information in the Red Herring Prospectus issued when the company went public. He had threatened to file complaints with agencies like the SEBI and the Serious Frauds Investigation Office to investigate. The key allegation in the notice was that Kalanithi became a controlling shareholder of the company in 2003, when the brothers' father and former Union Minister Murasoli Maran was on his deathbed, by allotting 12 lakh shares to himself through means that were not 'legal'. The company, in its statement on June 20, emphasised that the allegations stem from events that occurred 22 years ago when the company was a closely held private limited company. "The matters alleged in the articles do not have any bearing on the business of the Company or its day-to-day functioning, and it is being a family matter of the Promoter (Kalanithi) -- is purely personal in nature," the statement said.
