Never trade on behalf of others specially when money matters and speculative trading is concerned. A lot of things can go wrong.

Besides, there are RBI / FEMA rules that prohibit resident Indians from this kind of arrangement. And lastly, there's the I-T department and even your local bank who might ask questions.
