Zerodha is a zero brokerage firm and an Indian financial service company (member of NSE, BSE, MCX, MCX-SX),[3][4] retail and institutional broking, currencies and commodities trading, and mutual funds. Founded in 2010, Zerodha is known for its discount pricing model and technology.[5] It is headquartered in Bangalore and has physical presence in all major Indian cities.[6][7][8] It generates daily trading turnovers crossing $2 billion.[9]
Business model[edit]
The company claims to be "India's first discount brokerage" having debuted the "discount broking" model in India that is popular in developed markets. The model exempts customers from any broking charges on trades and transactions, and favours traders who take large futures and options provisions. Instead, a flat fee of a maximum of Rs: 20 is applied to a trade, irrespective of its size. In December 2015, Zerodha became the first Indian stock broker to offer brokerage and commission-free equity investments.
Corporate affairs[edit]
Zerodha has a client base of 1+ million[2] customers.[10][11] The company offers commodities trading via its wholly owned subsidiary, Zerodha Commodities Pvt. Ltd.[12]
It has won the "Economic Times Startup Awards 2016" in the "Bootstrap Champ" category.[13] The company also won the BSE-D&B "Emerging Equity Broking House Award" in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
