New Delhi [India], March 19: <\/strong>Bartr, India\u2019s leading opinion and information trading platform, has secured funding from Cred\u2019s Kunal Shah at an undisclosed valuation. With millions of users actively trading daily, Bartr is redefining how people engage with information, enabling them to monetize insights by predicting event outcomes in a safe, regulated, and trusted marketplace.<\/p>\n

Founded by Sachin Modak, Bartr is on a mission to eradicate misinformation and revolutionize financial markets in India. The platform operates on the well-established economic principle of \u201cwisdom of the crowds,\u201d a concept trialled by leading intelligence and defence agencies, including the CIA, DARPA, and SIS, for decades.<\/p>\n

Bridging the Global Gap in Information Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Globally, markets in the USA, UK, and Australia have embraced information trading as a financial and economic forecasting tool rather than gambling. However, in India, regulatory misconceptions and misinformation persist. Addressing this, Sachin Modak emphasizes:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bans in Singapore and France were about compliance, not the legitimacy of opinion trading itself. India has the opportunity to be a global leader in regulated information markets\u2014if we act wisely and embrace them as financial instruments rather than dismissing them due to outdated narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fight Against Misinformation<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of Bartr\u2019s biggest challenges has been tackling misinformation about its own business model, despite its focus on eliminating misinformation in society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe irony is that while we fight misinformation, we\u2019ve had to battle misconceptions about our own platform. We need to do a better job of explaining ourselves before we can expect to do it for our users,\u201d Modak adds.<\/p>\n

A Call for Regulatory Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

With India poised to lead the global information economy, Bartr urges policymakers to recognize the potential of regulated information markets. As Sachin Modak predicts:<\/p>\n

\u201cMark my words\u2014information wars will be the biggest challenge of our times. The time to act is now. By embracing and regulating information trading, India can unlock an entirely new financial ecosystem that rewards intelligence, foresight, and data-driven insights.\u201d<\/p>\n
