GMEX

Established in London in 2012 by Hirander Misra, GMEX Group operates as a global provider of technology solutions for financial and capital markets. Mr. Misra, the current Chairman and CEO, brings over 25 years of experience in electronic trading and financial technology. His background includes a BSc in Economics from the London School of Economics and an MSc in Business Systems Analysis and Design from City University. Notably, he was a co-founder and the COO of Chi-X Europe, contributing to its growth before its acquisition by Bats Global Markets for $365 million.

GMEX Group provides market infrastructure technology to a global client base that includes exchanges, clearing houses, central securities depositories (CSDs), custodians, and other financial institutions. The company’s business model is centered on delivering its technology through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) framework, enabling clients in both developing and developed markets to operate electronic trading and post-trade infrastructures cost-effectively. This partnership-driven approach aims to create ecosystems that connect various capital market participants.

The firm's core technology suite, GMEX Fusion, offers a comprehensive multi-asset solution for trading and post-trade processes, supporting both traditional and digital assets. This hybrid platform is designed to bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance. Key offerings include ForumMatch for exchange trading, ForumDetect for market surveillance, and solutions for custody and settlement like ForumCSD and ForumCustody. A significant venture is ZERO13, a climate fintech platform that uses AI and blockchain to facilitate the trading and settlement of carbon credits. Another major initiative is the acquisition of Pyctor from ING Bank, a platform providing institutional-grade custody and settlement for digital assets using multi-party computation (MPC). GMEX has received investments from firms such as Deutsche Börse, Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking, and Burkhan World Investments.
