A small firm with an unfashionable habit: staying around.
For 35+ years we've built software for India's listed companies — quietly, deliberately, and with a deep respect for the regulations our clients live under.
Built in 1989. Still here.
Dolphin Infotek began in 1989 — a year when "software for capital markets" meant something very different than it does today. The dematerialisation of shares hadn't happened. SEBI was barely four years old. The regulations our software now automates didn't exist.
We've watched the Indian capital markets grow up. Every regulatory milestone — the Companies Act of 2013, the SEBI PIT Regulations of 2015, the SDD requirement — has shaped a product release at Dolphin. We don't chase market trends. We follow the regulator.
Today, more than 400 listed companies use our software to administer ESOP programs and meet their insider trading obligations. We're a director-led, ISO 9001:2015 certified firm. We pick up the phone. And we plan to be here for the next 35 years too.
Three and a half decades, in four moments.

Regulator-first.
Our roadmap is shaped by SEBI circulars, not Silicon Valley. When the law changes, our software changes with it.

You'll never reach a chatbot when you call us during a filing crunch. You'll reach a human. Often a director.
