FTMO Launches Services for Indian Traders

Earlier, FTMO had made its services available to traders in India, reflecting growing interest in prop trading in the region. Interest among Indian traders, particularly those aged 18–30, has been rising since 2023.

Several prop trading firms, including FundingPips, The5ers, FundedNext, and Maven, report that India accounts for a significant share of their website traffic. Firms in the region have focused on evaluation programs, content marketing , and educational campaigns, while regulatory uncertainty from SEBI and RBI has influenced operations.
