BEST GLOBAL STOCK BROKERS IN INDIA

Thinking of going global with your investments? This ranking highlights the best global stock brokers for Indian investors, focusing on secure platforms that provide access to the US, European, and Asian exchanges. We reviewed factors like safety, ease of INR deposits, conversion costs, and responsive customer support. Brokers that give seamless access to global companies, ETFs, and international indices were prioritised. As more Indians diversify beyond domestic equities, these brokers make cross-border investing convenient, transparent, and well-supported.
