From May 7-9, Tower’s Gurugram office buzzed with electric energy as we proudly hosted the inaugural Limestone Summit. This landmark event brought together exceptional students from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, two of India’s top STEM universities. All were eager to immerse themselves in the exhilarating world of quantitative finance.
 

The Summit welcomed the 16 students, providing them with an unparalleled opportunity for hands-on learning and giving them practical exposure to the innovative quantitative strategies and tools that define modern trading. Our overarching goal was to inspire innovation – participants showcased their ingenuity in developing AI-driven methods and low-latency architectures, which form the very core of today’s fast-paced financial markets.
 

Another highlight of the Summit was an interactive session with the Limestone leadership team. This was a unique chance for the students to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, directly linking their-solutions to the refined statistical learning techniques employed in algorithmic trading.
 

Beyond the competitive aspect, the Summit was a powerful testament to the value of cross-functional collaboration. We took the students on an exclusive tour of our office, giving them a firsthand look at Tower’s dynamic work culture.
 

The Summit culminated in a celebration, with all student teams receiving a gift in appreciation for their incredible effort and dedication. All in all, the First Annual Limestone Summit was a huge success, solidifying its place as a cornerstone event. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants and are immensely proud of the innovative solutions they presented.
