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. Energy transition in India offers both. And finding teams that have worked answers for a tough sector like power is tough. VoltSeal is one […]

Coca-Cola is exploring a public listing of Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings (HCCH), the parent company of its largest Indian bottler, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB), in 2027. The proposed IPO would be listed on the BSE and NSE, subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions. The company is also considering selling a portion of its stake in […]

We have two big updates going live from June 1st. First, if you’re moving your holdings from another broker to Zerodha, we’ll refund the depository charges your current broker charges for the transfer, up to ₹500. This isn’t limited to new accounts. If you already have a Zerodha account and are transferring holdings from another […]

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. […]

Quick commerce company Zepto is preparing to launch its ₹11,000 crore initial public offering (IPO) in July and may soon file an updated draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), according to multiple media reports. The company is reportedly aiming to complete its stock market listing before the end of July. The IPO is expected to include […]

Fintech and enterprise technology firm Paramotor Digital Technology has confidentially filed draft papers with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO), joining a growing list of new-age companies looking to tap the public markets. The company has chosen SEBI’s confidential pre-filing route, which allows firms to submit IPO […]

The proposed IPO will comprise a fresh issue of equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each and remains subject to shareholder approval, regulatory clearances and prevailing market […]

Walmart-owned Flipkart has reportedly deferred its initial public offering (IPO) plans as the company shifts its focus toward achieving profitability. According to reports, Walmart has directed the e-commerce giant to prioritise EBITDA breakeven by the end of FY27 before considering any external fundraising or public listing. The decision was reportedly taken during Walmart CEO John […]

Reliance Industries is restructuring the proposed IPO of Jio Platforms into a fully fresh issue, dropping the earlier offer-for-sale (OFS) component after disagreements with existing investors over valuation, according to reports by Economic Times, Reuters and Bloomberg. Under the revised structure, all proceeds from the IPO will go directly to Jio Platforms as fresh capital, […]

India sold 2.3 million electric vehicles in 2025. Electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers accounted for over 90% of that volume, with 1.28 million e-scooters and roughly 800,000 electric three-wheelers finding buyers. 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. The Paris-listed maker of Absolut vodka and Chivas Regal whisky is in discussions with prospective advisers as it […]

The company is aiming to raise between $600 million and $700 million through the offering, according to multiple reports. The IPO is expected to value the […]

Over the last decade, India has built an efficient system for road compliance. FASTag made tolls frictionless. Vahaan and Sarathi brought vehicle and licence records into one place. Challans are now issued in real time, often without any human interaction. The system works fast, is connected, and is increasingly difficult to bypass. But there’s another […]

We’re still one of the very few brokers that charges zero brokerage on delivery trades. But that’s just one part of it. We don’t send you notifications designed to make you trade more. We don’t push margin funding (MTF) to get you to borrow and trade. We don’t have differential pricing for trading, MTF, or […]

Even today, a large part of household savings in India sits in fixed deposits. The appeal is simple, predictable returns, no market volatility, and very little to manage once you’ve invested. But that simplicity doesn’t scale well. Once you have FDs across multiple banks, rates are scattered, processes differ, and tracking maturity dates and interest becomes […]

SBI Mutual Fund, India’s largest asset management company, has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI, setting the stage for one of the most significant IPOs in the financial services sector. The proposed issue will be entirely an offer for sale (OFS), with promoters State Bank of India (SBI) and Amundi India offloading […]

A yearly update from Zerodha Fund House. When we launched our first fund in October 2023, you invested on conviction alone since you didn’t have a track record to rely on. I wanted to write to you about what your trust in us has built and what it means for you going forward. We now […]

Since inception, a consistent thread across our investments at Rainmatter has been a focus on backing businesses that are built not just for long-term success, but for meaningful, enduring impact. We look for teams that are deeply aligned with this philosophy, solving real problems while building with intent and integrity. Sukino stood out to us […]

Retirement is one of the few financial goals you can’t postpone. But it’s also the one most people delay thinking about. There’s always something more immediate: a house, EMIs, a vacation, or that one stock you’re sure will double. Retirement keeps getting pushed to “next year.” And yet, it’s the one goal where time matters […]

Additional ₹20 charge is only for traders using collateral margin without the required cash and only if the shortfall exceeds ₹5 lakhs. No, the brokerage for F&O at Zerodha has not gone up to ₹40. It remains at ₹20 per order. The only change is an additional ₹20 per order for customers who trade on […]

As traders and investors, we tend to keep adding instruments to marketwatch whenever something catches our attention. Over time, this can turn into a long list of stocks, indices, and contracts that becomes harder to manage. Even if you split them across multiple watchlists, finding the instrument you need at the right moment can still […]

Back in 2021, when we started backing startups in the climate and sustainability, we knew we were out of our depth. Let me qualify that statement. For the longest time before 2020, Zerodha was very keen to give back and help with community projects through CSR or otherwise. But we were all conscious of the […]
