Indian investors have typically reached US equities through local brokers offering feeder access, international brokerage accounts, or the handful of ADRs on domestic exchanges, contending with currency conversion, custody caps, and remittance-scheme paperwork and limits. Tokenized US stocks change that by giving direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying share, self-custodied and startable from around $1.

What India investors should know
Funding
To hold USDC, someone in India would generally convert rupees into stablecoins through a locally operating exchange that supports on-chain withdrawals, then move the USDC to a self-custody wallet under their own keys.
Currency & FX
India's currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Because GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an investor holds INR/USD exchange-rate exposure in addition to the price movement of the stock itself.
Local market
India's principal venues are the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE. Tokenized US stocks instead trade on-chain roughly 24 hours a day, five days a week, outside local exchange hours.
Tax
Any gains may be taxable under local rules, and the treatment of tokenized securities can differ from that of directly held shares. This is general information, not tax advice, so consult a qualified Indian tax adviser about your own position.
