At launch, DreamStreet offers investment in stocks and ETFs, with futures & options and initial public offerings (IPOs) expected to go live in the coming weeks.
The platform uses AI-led insights and provides traders access to SEBI-registered research analysts and investment advisors.
DreamStreet also has a built-in AI companion called Veda, which assists users with stock analysis and investment decisions. According to a statement, the platform has a fully digital account-opening process and promised transparent disclosure of fees and charges.
DreamStreet enters a crowded retail broking market that includes Groww, Dhan, and Zerodha.
Rahul Mirchandani, cofounder and CEO of DreamStreet, said the platform aims to bridge the gap between the intent to invest and the confidence to take the first step.
"While we have seen strong growth in demat accounts in recent years, a significant number of potential investors remain on the sidelines due to a lack of clarity and confidence around investing," he said in a statement.
DreamStreet is operated by Finverse Platform, a SEBI-registered stockbroker, and is a subsidiary of Sporta Technologies, the parent entity of the Dream Sports group.
Behind the pivot
This is part of Dream Sports' attempts to diversify its revenue streams after it was hit by the passage of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act in 2025, which banned real-money gaming nationwide. The law eliminated nearly 95% of Dream11's revenue and profits in one fell swoop. The company then pivoted to what it described as a “second-screen sports platform.”
Since then, it has been restructuring itself into multiple independent units spanning fintech, sports content, and fan experiences.
ET reported in February that Dream Sports swung to a net loss of Rs 478.9 crore in FY25, from a net profit of Rs 1,295 crore in FY24. Operating revenue declined 15% to Rs 6,759.3 crore from Rs 7,933.8 crore the previous year.
