Our Leadership

Founder and Partner

Rahul Gupta

With over 30+ years of experience at the intersection of India's financial markets and technology, Rahul founded GKN Securities, a proprietary trading firm built on the belief that lasting edge comes from pairing rigorous strategy with world-class engineering. Having traded through the Indian market's transformation — from the open-outcry ring of the BSE to NSE's low-latency, colocated electronic execution — Rahul brings a rare dual fluency: mastery of systematic and discretionary strategy design across equities, index and stock derivatives and F&O, alongside genuine technical depth in building trading systems, data pipelines, and execution infrastructure.

Director

Armaan Gupta

Armaan brings a sharp analytical rigor and research-driven mindset to the firm's strategy development. Having cleared all three levels of the CFA Program, Armaan combines a strong foundation in financial theory, valuation, and risk with hands-on experience in proprietary trading — translating deep market research into the ideas that power the firm's strategies. His work sits at the heart of the research process: identifying opportunities, testing hypotheses, and shaping the data-backed insights that move strategies from concept to execution.
