GACM Technologies Limited has a legacy that dates back to April 1995, when it was originally incorporated as Brilliant Securities Limited. Over the years, the company has evolved in step with the dynamic shifts in the global financial and technology landscape. In July 2011, the company underwent a strategic transformation, adopting the name Stampede Capital Limited, signaling its entry into the world of financial technology and research-driven trading. In its latest evolution, the company was renamed GACM Technologies Limited in April 2023, reflecting its broader focus on digital innovation, consultancy, and technology-driven services.
From its early focus on securities trading and broking, GACM rapidly diversified into high-speed, algorithmic trading across global markets. It became known for its data-driven approach and capabilities in commodity trading, low-latency arbitrage, and deploying proprietary algorithms at scale. The company leveraged groundbreaking research from institutions like MIT, Wharton, Stanford, and Cambridge, building a state-of-the-art, multi-asset trading platform that operated at the “speed of light.”
Brilliant Securities Limited built a strong foundation in R&D with a team of experts in mathematics, statistics, and programming. The firm’s technology architecture includes scalable containers, multi-threading, and full-depth order book analysis, forming the backbone of its automated trading environment. In 2011–12, the company merged with the R&D division of Stampede Holdings Limited and was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) by the end of 2011. GACM further solidified its market presence by becoming a trading member of the Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX) in 2020 and obtaining Deposit-Based Membership in the Cash Segment of BSE in November 2020.
At present, GACM Technologies is led by Mr. Jonna Venkata Tirupati Rao, who serves as the Managing Director. With over 18 years of experience in the Indian securities markets, Mr. Rao has held key leadership roles in prominent financial institutions, including Kotak Commodity Services Limited, Anand Rathi Securities, CD Equi Search Private Limited, Basan Equity Broking Limited, and GSV Securities Private Limited. His extensive experience and strategic vision continue to steer GACM towards innovation and excellence in the financial technology sector.
