Rainmatter is Zerodha’s fund for fintech, health, climate and deep tech. This is how we think about the climate and deep tech side of it. A note on what this is, before we get into it. Venture funds write investment theses because they have Limited Partners (LPs) (the institutions and individuals whose money a fund […]

All investing and trading platforms kind of look the same now, don’t they? I’m talking about Indian platforms, and sure, we can quibble about some features and some of the bells and whistles, but they seem to have converged into a broad sameness. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they’re bad. I’m just saying […]
Filing an income tax return is important for traders and investors, whether they made a profit or a loss during the year. A common misconception is that losses do not need to be reported. However, your trading and investment activity may still need to be disclosed, and not reporting it could lead to queries from […]
People know Zerodha. They know the brand, the product, the numbers. What they don’t know are the people who built it. A lot has already been said about how Zerodha started, why we chose a flat-fee model, and why we remained bootstrapped. Nithin has written and spoken openly about many of the questions people have […]
Before you track or trade a stock, you usually have certain criteria in mind. You may be looking for stocks making sharp moves, trading near their 52-week highs, seeing high volumes in the F&O universe, or matching a particular fundamental filter. Until now, this process often happened outside the trading platform. You would open a […]
Every conversation about India’s manufacturing moment is about the factory. The machines, the assembly lines, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes. Almost nobody talks about what happens after the product rolls off the line, when it has to survive a truck to a port, a month at sea, and a forklift at the other end. […]

Starting around 2015–16, India saw a wave of fintech startups across payments, investing, insurance, lending, and various other corners of finance. What was interesting to me was the investing side of things and all the platforms that started by offering mutual funds. This was also the period when India Stack started making financial onboarding easier. […]
Think back to the last time you set a big money goal. Maybe it was retirement. Maybe it was a corpus for when your child turns 18. You picked a date far away in the future, started investing towards it, and felt good about getting started. Now here is the honest question: in the years […]
Trailing Stoploss (TSL) was one of the most requested features from our clients, and it is now available for GTT orders on Kite Web. A normal stop loss stays fixed at the price you set. That works when you enter a trade, but it can become a problem if the trade moves in your favour. […]
Nithin has often said that the stock market is the toughest place to make easy money. I keep thinking about this line because it is a perfect encapsulation of the markets for most people. Whether you are investing or trading, making money is hard. There is often this neat distinction that investing is somehow respectable, […]
Update: For referrals made before June 1, 2026, the 10% brokerage share will be paid from June 1, 2026, onwards, if the referrer adds at least three new referrals every 12 months. A lot of our customers came to us the same way: someone they trusted told them to. We’ve never run a newspaper or […]
More recently, a consistent theme across all of our investments at Rainmatter has been a serious intent to back startups operating at the intersection of structural change and genuine commercial viability.

When you have just one or two trades, the positions page is easy to read. But once you have trades across different stocks, indices, and expiries, it becomes harder to make sense of everything in one view. Instead of reading everything as one long list, you can now group your positions on the Kite app. […]

India sold 2.3 million electric vehicles in 2025.

In FY26, the momentum has only accelerated. E-2W registrations crossed 1.4 million, up 22% year-on-year, and electric three-wheelers continued their steady march toward becoming the […]
I started working at Zerodha in 2017. When I joined, the stock market in India was more or less a sideshow. Nobody really cared about capital markets apart from the obvious people for whom they mattered. The stock market was not part of any mainstream conversation. But all of that changed after COVID. This is […]
French spirits major Pernod Ricard has begun early steps toward a potential initial public offering (IPO) of its India unit, according to media reports, marking a shift from its earlier stance of ruling out such a listing.
