EquiRize Securities has launched an Online Bond Platform Provider (OBPP), offering structured, regulated access to exchange-listed and rated bonds, with a focus on presenting relevant bond information in a single interface for retail and high net worth (HNI) investors, with an additional focus on sustainability and green bond issuances per SEBI’s framework. The launch arrives at a significant inflection point. India’s 10-year G-Sec yield has moderated and has energized fixed income demand across duration categories. SEBI’s OBPP framework now governs multiple registered platforms with awareness campaigns on Bonds investing being introduced and promoted by the regulator and exchanges.
As a SEBI-registered OBPP and member of both BSE and NSE, EquiRize Securities operates within the full regulatory framework for debt broking in India, with all statutory disclosures presented in an accessible, investor-readable format. The platform maintains a regulatory distinction between factual sustainable development goals (SDG) context and yield or return implications, in recognition of growing investor demand around issues such as climate action, sustainable urban infrastructure, and women’s economic progress.
EquiRize Securities is backed by Vertex Ventures, Antler, Dezerv Innovation Fund, and Force Ventures.The company was co-founded by Mohit Gupta, Neha Juneja, and Ravinder Voomidisingh. Operations are led by Imran Khan and Srilaxmi Deshmukh, who together bring decades of experience across capital markets execution, regulatory compliance, and financial operations.
“As a global investment institution, we have been fortunate to work with the EquiRize Securities team since their initial days, and believe this is a team driven by mission, integrity and customer orientation. A regulated OBPP like EquiRize can serve as a meaningful enabler for the broader bond investing market in India.” — Nitin Sharma, Partner, Antler
According to NSE debt market data, AAA and AA-rated issuances account for the dominant share of bond market activity in India, yet retail investors have historically lacked the tools to meaningfully differentiate between credit profiles, structural protections, and issuer fundamentals. EquiRize Securities counters this by surfacing issuer-level fundamentals, credit quality assessments, and structural features – including security cover, covenant strength, and cash flow visibility before yield data. The intent is to provide investors with relevant information for risk evaluation alongside standard bond details.
“With rising interest in bonds driven by regulatory support, we noticed that investors still do not receive enough clarity on product nuances and risks. EquiRize Securities is built to push investors toward real due diligence instead of chasing headline yields. The next step is to help them understand how SEBI’s green and sustainability-linked bonds can act as an additional layer.” said Imran Khan, Director, EquiRize Securities
In a differentiated move for the Indian retail bond market, EquiRize will offer additional visibility to sustainability and green bonds under SEBI’s ESG debt securities framework with optional to educational materials for relevant issuances, positioning them explicitly as contextual information rather than performance-linked claims.
“SDG alignment is structured filtration added to traditional analysis. Screening for regulatory risk, governance quality, supply chain resilience, demographic trends and policy direction helps investors make more informed decisions. It is simply a disciplined way to understand long term economic and values alignment.” -Mohit Gupta, Co-founder, EquiRize Securities
“I have been active in Indian equities and alternate assets for many years, but buying bonds has always been difficult to evaluate from a risk and utilization of proceeds perspective. SEBI’s moves to make the bond market accessible finally give individual investors like me real confidence.” – Sonam Negi, retail investor.
