Real question: Does Jane Street accept outside money? I don't think so.

    > on such a simple scheme
If the scheme is so "simple", why aren't more firms doing it in India?


Scale and exposure. That's my hypothesis.

Nobody wants to commit as much to Indian markets because it's relatively primitive compared to more lucrative markets such as the US, China, etc. Jane Street was an outlier in that they took a bold bet on executing this manipulation strategy. Hence they readily dumped in billions, with an assured annual 1B profit. Because there are not many players to dig in and track their moves, they went largely unnoticed by other players.
