根据一份文件和一位知情人士透露，肯·格里芬旗下的 Citadel Securities LLC 计划于明年初搬入印度更大的办公室，以在全球增长最快的金融市场之一扩大业务。
Ken Griffin’s Citadel Securities LLC is moving into a larger India office early next year, according to a filing and a person familiar with the matter, as it expands in one of the world’s fastest-growing financial markets.
房地产数据分析公司 Propstack 提供的一份文件显示，这家总部位于迈阿密的做市商的印度分公司将从目前位于古尔冈 Two Horizon Center 的办公室搬迁至附近的 Godrej Industries 集团大楼。Citadel Securities 发言人拒绝置评。
The Miami-based market-making firm’s Indian unit is shifting from its current Gurugram office at Two Horizon Center to a Godrej Industries group tower nearby, a filing provided by real estate data analytics firm Propstack shows. A Citadel Securities spokesperson declined to comment.
近年来，印度吸引了大量高频交易商和流动性提供商，一些公司开出创纪录的薪酬以吸引工程师和交易员进入该行业。Citadel Securities 一直在扩充员工队伍，以期在该国拓展业务。
India has attracted a slew of high frequency traders and liquidity providers in recent years, with some firms offering record pay to draw engineers and traders into the industry. Citadel Securities has been expanding its staff as it looks to boost business in the country.
知情人士称，Citadel Securities 的新办公面积几乎是目前的两倍，可容纳未来几年不断壮大的团队。该人士因涉及私人信息而要求不具名。根据文件，该公司将占用超过 12,800 平方英尺（1,189 平方米）的办公空间，月租金为每平方英尺 196 卢比（约合 2.06 美元）。
Citadel Securities’ new space is nearly double its current size, enabling it to accommodate a growing team over the next few years, the person said, asking not to be named discussing private information. The firm will occupy over 12,800 square feet (1,189 square meters) and pay a rent of 196 rupees ($2.06) per square feet per month for its new office, according to the filing.
Propstack 联合创始人 Raja Seetharaman 表示，该地段的平均租金通常为每平方英尺每月 130 至 150 卢比。

古尔冈汇聚了十多家高频交易商和做市商，使这座位于新德里郊外的卫星城市成为印度最大的算法交易和自营交易中心之一。
Gurugram is home to more than a dozen high frequency traders and market makers, making the satellite city outside New Delhi one of India’s biggest hubs for algorithmic and proprietary trading.
然而，更严格的监管正在抑制交易量。监管机构特别关注印度的期权市场——按合约交易量计算为全球最大——金融机构纷纷涌入该市场，以利用利润丰厚的套利和做市机会。
However, tighter rules are curbing trading volumes. Regulators are particularly focused on India’s options market, the world’s largest by contracts traded, where financial firms have piled in to capitalize on lucrative arbitrage and market-making opportunities.
