Last month, we had dinner with some of the founders we have backed through Rainmatter. This was in the backdrop of GFF, so the meetup was largely with founders from the fintech ecosystem who were in Mumbai then. Btw, if you’ve not been tracking, we have over 130 startup investments of which a third are […]

The last few years have made something clear: climate volatility is no longer an exception; it’s the new operating environment for our cities. Flooding after routine rainfall, heatwaves that push public systems to their limits, and air quality that shifts dangerously within hours have exposed a simple truth: urban resilience is now a real-time challenge. […]
Most people think of taxes only when filing their Income Tax Return. But tax isn’t an annual event. It has to be paid as the income is earned, and that’s where advance tax comes in. With the deadline for the third installment of advance tax on 15 December 2025, this is a good time for […]
Trading apps rely on a chain of background services to connect you to our servers, including global networks like Cloudflare (powers approximately 20-25% of all internet traffic globally). While these networks make the internet faster and safer, they also mean that if a link in the chain breaks, access to the app can be blocked—even […]
Most Indians will live 10–15 years beyond the traditional retirement age. Yet a large share of the workforce has no structured pension or long-term retirement plan. Over the next 25 years, nearly 20 crore people will reach retirement without adequate savings. The National Pension System (NPS) is one of the strongest retirement products available. It’s […]
We’ve rolled out a set of new improvements and features to charts on the Kite app to make charts load faster, analysing markets easier, and switching between charts more intuitive. Here’s a quick look at what’s new. Quick launcher: open charts from anywhere We’ve added a floating icon called the quick launcher. It stays on […]
Placing multiple orders one by one can be slow, especially when markets are moving quickly. Even a small delay is sometimes enough to miss a good price. If you’re buying several stocks at once or executing a multi-leg options strategy, entering each order separately can become a hurdle. Quick Baskets on the Kite web makes […]
Booking an FD with a bank where you don’t already have a savings account is still much harder than it needs to be. Every bank has its own onboarding and KYC flow, most of which are not designed for someone who only wants to open an FD. This friction keeps most people tied to their […]
Walk into any good hospital today, and you’ll notice something. Almost nothing is done the old way anymore. What used to be routine laparoscopic surgery is now done with robotic assistance because it improves precision and speeds up recovery. Cardiac bypasses, orthopaedic procedures, prostate surgeries—hospitals increasingly prefer advanced, minimally invasive techniques whenever they can. And […]
If you’re an active trader, you know how quickly your positions list can get cluttered. Different stocks, expiries, and long or short positions, all mixed, can make it hard to see what’s really happening. To make this easier, we’ve added a feature to group and filter positions, which lets you organise your positions just the […]
Helping Indians learn how to manage their money is a cause that is near and dear to all of us at Zerodha. A meaningful part of that has been helping parents invest for their children’s future. The earlier children start learning about money, the better. Good financial habits formed early tend to stick. Which is […]
At Rainmatter, we’ve often talked about how it’s increasingly difficult to eat healthy, especially for younger people living away from their families. Cooking regularly is tough, and the traditional dabba services rarely deliver food that’s nutritious and appetising. Ordering out every day isn’t a long-term solution either. That’s where The Kenko Life comes in. Kenko […]
If you trade F&O strategies with multiple legs, you know how time-consuming it can be to set up multiple positions. Every order must be placed separately, with the product type, order type, and quantity filled in each time. And when markets are moving fast, that’s valuable time lost. That’s why we’ve added a new feature […]
We turned 15 on August 15, 2025. Firstly, about my stroke from last January, I have recovered about 90%. I still face some issues while speaking, with the inability to articulate all the thoughts that come to my mind. All my skill levels from reading, speaking, singing, playing the guitar, writing, etc., had gone down close […]
Our planet was once alive with abundance. Herds of herbivores thundered across vast grasslands, swamps echoed with the croaks of amphibians, and forests rang with the calls of primates swinging freely through the trees. Today, that richness is fading. We are living through the sixth mass extinction, a crisis unlike any before. Extinction itself is […]
Every year, the world consumes 111 trillion tonnes of textile fibers. Over half of this comes from polyester, essentially plastic – that pollutes our oceans and soils with microplastics. Around a quarter is conventional cotton, which is notorious for its massive pesticide use and water consumption. Another 6.5% are man-made cellulosic fibers (MMCs), created through […]
We launched our loan against securities (LAS) product, Zerodha Capital, to help people avoid high-interest personal loans and credit card debt. Borrowing against your investments can be far more cost-effective, but many only realize how expensive unsecured credit is once they’re already paying for it. Since starting full-scale operations in 2023, we’ve steadily expanded LAS. […]
If you’re an NRI based in the US or Canada, chances are you’ve wondered whether you can invest in Indian mutual funds without setting foot in India. Maybe you’ve lived in India earlier and had investments back home. Or maybe you’re just starting out and want to diversify your dollar income into Indian assets. Whatever […]

Every day brings market news, hot tips, and predictions that make us feel like we must act right away. Fear, greed, or even the thrill of a quick profit often push us into choices that hurt us in the long run. Impulsive investing is one of the biggest reasons many fail to build lasting wealth. […]
The government has announced that from 22 September 2025, premiums for health and term insurance will no longer attract GST. At first glance, this looks like an 18% price cut. But it’s not that simple. Whether you actually save depends on when you buy your policy, when coverage kicks in, and whether you’re starting fresh, […]
Eight new live Initial Public Offerings (IPO) took place during the first week of September 2025, including seven SME issues and one main board. Amanta Healthcare raised Rs 126 crores through its mainboard IPO. The issue was subscribed 82.60 times overall. The pharmaceutical company, which manufactures sterile liquid products, received 23.35 times subscription in the […]
Many of us in India have grown up without having open conversations about sex, seeing it as taboo or sometimes even feeling guilty about the little that’s spoken. Hence, sexual health challenges are far more widespread than most people realize. Male infertility now accounts for 50% of infertility cases in India, which is a significant […]
At the Reliance Industries AGM, Chairman Mukesh Ambani confirmed that Reliance Jio will launch its IPO in the first half of 2026, subject to approvals. The offering is expected to be among the largest in India, giving global investors like Meta and Google an exit route. Recent regulatory changes easing float requirements for mega issues […]
