Abstract	This research paper examines the global and Indian derivatives markets, detailing their instruments, uses, risks, and regulatory frameworks. It outlines the structure and growth of key derivative products—futures, forwards, swaps, options, and credit derivatives—highlighting their role in risk management, speculation, and financial innovation. The paper contrasts developed and emerging market dynamics, presents notable corporate case studies illustrating leverage–volatility pitfalls, and analyses India’s rapid market expansion across equity, currency, commodity, and nascent credit derivatives. It emphasizes infrastructure developments like GIFT City, interoperability of clearing corporations, and evolving SEBI, RBI, and IFSCA regulations, alongside global alignment efforts. While acknowledging derivatives’ potential for market efficiency, hedging, and liquidity, the study warns of systemic risks, regulatory gaps, and the need for balanced oversight to foster sustainable growth and global competitiveness.
