THE BEGINNING

Scale Up began in 2011 as a focused entrepreneurial effort and evolved into a dedicated proprietary derivatives platform.

Our Story

Saumil started the journey in 2011 after leaving his corporate role and managing a small client base. Harish joined in 2015, bringing deep market and macro experience.

The firm pivoted from advisory to derivatives-focused trading, expanded team capability, and strengthened risk systems. During the 2020 crash, robust risk discipline helped us stay profitable and resilient.
