Quantitative Research Intern

AlphaGrep is a quantitative trading and investment management firm founded in 2010. We are one of the largest firms by trading volume on Indian exchanges and have significant market share on several large global exchanges as well. 

We use a disciplined and systematic quantitative approach to identify factors that consistently generate alpha.
