Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 09, 2026: Jainam Broking Limited, a leading financial services firm offering comprehensive solutions across the investment spectrum, is set to host the seventh edition of the Indian Options Conclave (IOC 7.0) on February 13–14, 2026, at the SIECC, Surat. Recognised as India’s largest platform dedicated to options trading education and community building, IOC 7.0 will bring together retail traders, seasoned market participants, investors, fintech players and exchanges from across the country.
Building on the momentum of IOC 6.0, a record-breaking edition that witnessed over 20,000 registrations and earned a Guinness World Record for the “Largest Financial Investment Lesson”, IOC 7.0 represents the next stage in the conclave’s journey. Anchored in the overarching theme “Evolve”, and translated through the narrative Learn. Transform. Evolve, the upcoming edition reflects the platform’s progression from focused options education to a more holistic, future-ready trading and investing ecosystem.
Commenting on the upcoming edition, Mr. 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.”
Since its inception in 2020, the IOC has grown from a 1,500-attendee gathering into a nationwide movement, shaping structured participation in India’s derivatives markets. Over the years, IOC has consistently expanded in scale, scope and impact, responding to the growing demand for practical market education, live trading exposure and peer-led learning.
Early registration trends for IOC 7.0 highlight its expanding national footprint and inclusive reach. Registrations have already been recorded from over 25 states and Union Territories, spanning metros as well as Tier II and Tier III cities, reinforcing IOC’s position as a truly pan-India trading community.
While Gujarat led by Surat continues to be a strong participation hub, significant interest has also emerged from Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Delhi NCR and Madhya Pradesh. Importantly, registrations are not restricted to key cities alone, with growing participation from emerging trading centers such as Nagpur and Nashik (Maharashtra), Lucknow and Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), Jaipur and Udaipur (Rajasthan), and Guwahati and Dibrugarh (Assam), underscoring the increasing adoption of options trading across India’s non-metro markets.
Notably, female participation currently accounts for over 15% of total registrations, reflecting a gradual yet meaningful shift towards greater diversity within India’s options trading ecosystem. With registrations continuing to gain momentum, IOC 7.0 is expected to welcome over 10,000+ visitors across the two-day event, making it the largest edition of the conclave to date.
