How can Indian investors compare brokers for new US listings?
Our answer
Ask each platform which legal entity will open your account, which exchange and order types it supports, and whether its US equity access includes new listings. Request separate confirmation of any offer-price allocation feature for your country. A city, app name or provider logo cannot establish IPO access.
For named platforms
Check the current product page and ask for a written answer naming your residence, account type and the actual offer. This approach applies equally to a global broker and an app using an overseas partner.

Check funding, FX, custody and withdrawal fees alongside order availability. Verify the regulated entity and identify which firm holds the shares.
