smallcase is an Indian investment platform built around the idea of a smallcase, a curated basket of stocks or exchange traded funds assembled to express a particular theme, strategy or risk profile. An investor buys the whole basket in one transaction and the shares are held directly in their own demat account rather than pooled in a fund, which distinguishes the model from mutual funds and gives investors direct ownership and transparency over holdings.
The company was founded in 2015 by Vasanth Kamath, Anugrah Shrivastava and Rohan Gupta, and is headquartered in Bengaluru, India. It employs several hundred people and has raised venture funding from investors including Peak XV Partners, Blume Ventures, Faering Capital and Amazon.
Its distribution model is distinctive. Rather than acquiring investors directly at scale, smallcase integrates into the trading applications of most major Indian brokers, so that an investor discovers and transacts smallcases inside the broker platform they already use. Baskets are published either by the company's own research team or by registered investment advisors and research analysts who use the platform to reach investors, with regulatory registration governing who may publish advice.
The company has expanded beyond baskets into a broader wealth technology stack, including infrastructure that asset managers and wealth platforms use to distribute products, portfolio management and reporting tools, and it acquired a mutual fund business to build an asset management arm.
Engineering work involves brokerage and depository integrations across many counterparties, order routing and rebalancing logic that must execute correctly against live markets, portfolio accounting, and the compliance controls that Indian securities regulation imposes on advice and distribution. Market hours create hard operational windows in which systems must perform.
The company operates in a market that has expanded rapidly, as the number of Indian retail investors holding demat accounts has grown several fold over the past decade. That growth has brought both opportunity and closer regulatory attention to how investment products are described, recommended and distributed, and the platform's rules around who may publish a strategy and how performance is presented reflect that supervision.
Roles cover backend and frontend engineering, mobile development, data engineering and quantitative research, product management and design, compliance and operations, and partnership management with brokers and advisors.
