Teesta Investment

Teesta Investment sits where Indian quant firms usually do not. Not Bangalore, Mumbai, or Gurgaon, but Kolkata. The founders have made that origin a point of pride, evidence that serious high-frequency infrastructure can grow out of an unexpected Indian city. Teesta describes itself as the country's largest digital-asset trading firm.

Founded in 2021, it researches, builds, and runs automated systems across centralized and decentralized crypto venues around the clock. The engineering centers on C++ for low-latency work, alongside Python, MATLAB, and an Elasticsearch and React stack, with the firm continuing to build out its HFT infrastructure and a Mumbai expansion underway.
