About us:

Novum is a 0-1 vertical of Probo dedicated to making options trading accessible to all in the truest sense. 

Options trading platforms are very difficult to use for a first time trader. There are lots of barriers including language barrier & technical complexity which prevents first time users from participating in financial markets. With Novum, we want to solve for the above mentioned barriers by Gamification, Vernacularization and making it easy for first time traders. Our core TG will be the young, vernacular speaking and first time trading Indians.

If this tickles your bones and you know what it takes to build magical user experiences, this is definitely the right place for you.
