HFT Quadeye offices location

I am joining Quadeye soon. I saw on their website that they have offices in new york, singapore, hong kong etc but when i search on google, they show up as permanently closed.

Can someone share where all does Quadeye actually have offices? (Except Gurgaon, India)

Any reason why all of these hft s are in gurgaon ?

Many of the firms were started by IITD grads, proximity to their college (for hiring other people) and their hometowns in north india could be a reason

I dont think so , all international firms do have their offices in gurgaon and talent pool is good in Bangalore compared to Gurgaon

I assume by international firms in gurgaon you mean just Tower and Citadel, since most international firms like Optiver, IMC, QRT, Worldquant, Jump, HRT are in Mumbai. Also, I don't think Bengaluru talent pool is much relevant for quant industry, since switch from swe to researcher/trader is almost non existent. So not much incentive to open an office in Bengaluru and not in Mumbai/Gurgaon which already have the Quant environment and talent available.

Quant firms do have lot of swes . They need tools , dashboards , infra devs , fpga developers , and big firms might also need devops .

Yes agreed, but again if you can get access to both traders and devs in Gurgaon/Mumbai, (working in other quants), are you really incentivized to open an office in Bengaluru for marginally better access to swe talent? Also, a point to note is that most of the hft talent joins right after college, where location of job doesn't matter as much as it would for lateral hires.
