SURAT, FEB 6
Jainam Broking Limited, a leading financial services firm offering end-to-end investment solutions, is set to host the seventh edition of the Indian Options Conclave (IOC 7.0) on February 13–14, 2026, at the Surat International Exhibition and Convention Centre (SIECC).
Recognised as India’s largest and most influential options trading conclave, IOC 7.0 will bring together retail traders, professional market participants, investors, fintech innovators, exchanges and educators from across the country, reinforcing its position as a national platform for structured trading education and community-driven market engagement.
From Record-Breaking Milestone to Market Movement
Building on the unprecedented success of IOC 6.0, which drew over 20,000 registrations and earned a Guinness World Record for the “Largest Financial Investment Lesson”, the upcoming edition marks a decisive leap in scale, ambition and impact.
Anchored in the overarching theme “Evolve”, and articulated through the narrative Learn. Transform. Evolve, IOC 7.0 reflects the conclave’s transition from focused options education to a future-ready, collaborative trading and investing ecosystem.
Leadership Speaks: From Learning to Transformation
Commenting on the upcoming edition, Milan Parikh, Managing Director and Chairman, Jainam Broking Limited, said: “IOC was envisioned as a learning-led initiative, but over the years, it has evolved into a national platform that mirrors the growth and maturity of India’s trading community. As markets, technologies and participation evolve, so must the way traders learn and engage. IOC 7.0 is designed to help participants move beyond knowledge to transformation, enabling them to adapt, collaborate and evolve with confidence in a dynamic market environment.”
A Nationwide Trading Community Takes Shape
Since its inception in 2020, the Indian Options Conclave has grown from a 1,500-attendee gathering into a pan-India movement, shaping informed and disciplined participation in India’s rapidly expanding derivatives markets.
Early registration trends for IOC 7.0 underline its deepening national footprint, with confirmed participation from over 25 states and Union Territories, spanning metros as well as Tier II and Tier III cities.
While Gujarat, led by Surat, continues to be a strong participation hub, significant interest has emerged from Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Delhi NCR and Madhya Pradesh. Importantly, registrations are flowing in from emerging trading centres such as Nagpur and Nashik, Lucknow and Kanpur, Jaipur and Udaipur, and Guwahati and Dibrugarh, highlighting the accelerating adoption of options trading beyond traditional metros.
Diversity on the Rise
Notably, women now account for over 15% of total registrations, signalling a gradual yet meaningful shift towards greater diversity and inclusion within India’s options trading ecosystem.
With registrations continuing to gain momentum, IOC 7.0 is expected to welcome over 10,000+ visitors across two days, making it the largest edition of the conclave to date.
