About Target Capital

We built the brain first. The apps came after.

Target Capital is India's surface for Capulse — a single AI engine trained across equities, mutual funds, F&O and trading behavior. Every screen you use here draws from the same core intelligence that also powers our U.S. platform and every partner who licenses the engine directly.

Why we exist

Three apps that don't talk to each other isn't a tooling gap. It's a trust gap.

Most retail investors in India piece together a screener, a broker app and a Telegram channel — and still make decisions with no single source of reasoning. Bloomberg-grade intelligence exists, but at ₹27L+ a seat it was never built for them. We built Capulse to close that gap: one engine, explainable by design, priced for retail.

AI-first, not bolted on

The model is the product. Every surface — Target Capital India, Target Capital USA, or a partner's app via the Capulse API — is an interchangeable window into the same reasoning.

Explainable by default

No black boxes. Every I-Score, every ranked trade, every fund recommendation comes with the specific signals that produced it — you can check our reasoning, not just our output.

Discipline over noise

9 in 10 individual F&O traders in India lose money — not from lack of data, but lack of discipline. Capulse's behavioral layer is built to catch that before the trade, not after.
