About Zerodha

Zerodha was founded in 2010 by Nithin Kamath in Bangalore and is today India's largest discount broker with over 15 million customers. The name "Zerodha" combines "Zero" with the Sanskrit word "Rodha" (barrier), representing the removal of barriers to capital market access. The platform is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Zerodha's business model is based on free delivery trading (stocks and ETFs held for more than one day) and a flat fee of 20 rupees per order for intraday trading and F&O. The proprietary trading platform Kite is known for its speed, stability, and intuitive operation. Zerodha has created Varsity, a free educational platform offering extensive learning materials on stock trading, technical analysis, and derivatives. The broker targets Indian retail investors seeking cost-efficient and technologically advanced access to the Indian capital market. International trading is not available.
