Dream Sports launches AI-powered stock broker DreamStreet for first-time investors

Dream Sports has launched DreamStreet, an AI-enabled stock broking platform targeting first-time investors, as it diversifies beyond fantasy gaming into financial services. The platform will initially support stocks and exchange-traded funds, with futures, options and IPO participation to follow. DreamStreet features an AI assistant called Veda and provides recommendations from SEBI-registered experts. Dream Sports Chief Product Officer Rahul Mirchandani will lead as CEO, supported by Dream11 product leaders. The launch follows Dream Sports' introduction of Dream Money in May 2025, offering gold, fixed deposits, mutual funds and lending. The move comes after regulatory changes impacted its core fantasy sports business, causing revenue and profit declines. DreamStreet enters a crowded market dominated by Groww, Zerodha and Angel One, with Dream Sports' 250 million registered users expected to drive adoption.
