So if you search for Zerodha an ad from a competitor might show up above the organic search result. Many times these ads can be deceiving as well.

""Investment is the discipline of relative selection - Sid Cottle. Indian startups will most likely continue to attract foreign capital even if all the news might make it seem otherwise. This is mainly because we are the fastest-growing country in the world and investing is about selecting the best from all the existing options. It is a relative decision and global investors have to invest. By the way anecdotally talking to some international investors Indian startups seem to be faring better in the last year or so where the focus has been more on reducing burn & getting on the path to"

Imagine how many Indians play cricket because of Sachin etc. Sadly while there are countless talented athletes in India not all of them have the resources and ongoing support to make India proud. Is there something that we can do to support more young athletes is something we had been asking ourselves at @Rainmatterin health. Along the way we met @nandankamath @DeepthiBopaiah and @unmish1 from the @GoSportsVoices Foundation and we are super"

"Today is a settlement holiday and thus settlements of funds and stocks don't happen. This happens when banks in Maharashtra are closed but trading on exchanges is open. Most brokers don't allow shares bought on Friday to be sold on Monday because of this. We @zerodhaonline are among the few brokers that allow you to sell stocks bought on Friday. By the way due to the settlement holiday your equity intraday profit credits and F&O credits aren't included in your trading balance or are not available for withdrawal today. And Eid-e-Milad is shifted from the 16th to the 18th of September and the"

"Alert triggers an order (ATO) was on our to-do list for a long time and we just launched it on Kite web. ATO orders allow you to execute trades based on If This Then That conditions. For example buy Reliance if Nifty [--] crosses [-----] or execute a nifty short straddle (sell a call and put option of the same strike) if Nifty [--] falls to [-----]. ATO will soon be available on Kite mobile. 1/2"

"The case of Octafx is another example of how people are lured by extreme leverage and then scammed. OctaFX and most other CFD platforms are the counterparty to every trade you take on them. Essentially the platform makes money only when you lose. And trading with extreme leverage of [---] to [---] times your capital is a sure way to lose money. 1/2"

We had plenty of positives. Content Today we have some of the best content on all things stock market with @ZerodhaVarsity videos Varsity Live Zero1 @zerodhamarkets and more.

"Here's the potential impact of only one weekly expiry of index derivatives per exchange and contract sizes going up by around [---] times. As things stand assuming that those trading weekly don't move on to trading monthly the impact will be 60% of overall F&O trades and 30% of our overall orders. I guess things will become much clearer from November 20th. We will then decide on our change in pricing structure based on the impact on the business. 😀"

"While SEBI is tightening rules to make the markets safer on the one hand it is also making things simple on the other. Starting from October 14th shares bought will be directly credited to the customer's Demat account through net settlement. This significantly simplifies our DP process which today involves receiving shares for the entire group of clients and then allocating them based on purchases made i.e. gross settlement. And this is much safer too. A broker from now on will never be able to touch client securities ever which is possible today when you buy stocks and are not yet credited"

"One challenge in today's media-saturated environment for brokers like us and also regulators is the sheer noise because even small things can be blown out of proportion. Having said that I am part of various committees and what has always amazed me is the consultative approach that SEBI has taken over the years. No regulation is passed without hearing from the industry and other experts. This shows in the fact that today our capital markets are among the safest in the world if not the safest. Also for regulators consumer interest comes first. The tricky thing about being on these committees"

"Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has been an integral part of Zerodha's success. We rely on it heavily to power everything from our products to Z-connect Tradingqna and even my laptop (which runs Zorin Linux). Without FOSS Zerodha wouldn't exist and neither would the larger startup ecosystem. We have always supported the open source ecosystem in numerous ways and are now formalizing all those efforts by setting up a fund to support FOSS projects globally starting with $1 million a year. Hopefully this also inspires other organisations to give back. Check out the post in the comments to"

"In the 20+ years in this business I havent seen anyone who has kept profits from trading without good risk management. I know many who've lost quickly. If you don't have a plan to manage risk and size your bets it's impossible to keep the money you make. Here are a few wonderful tips from a couple of @basso_tom's recent podcasts: On the secret to his longevity: "I would say its sort of two things. One is after reading Larry Hites chapter in Market Wizards I really started thinking a lot about as he calls it bet size or what I call the risk exposure of each position and the risk exposure of"

"With everybody chasing "engagement" we seem to have made many things on the internet annoying and unusable. My own phone is constantly on silent because of annoying calls notifications emails etc. From day one of @zerodhaonline "don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you" has been at the core of our philosophy. We don't send an email or a notification unless it's important. Counter-intuitively this is why people trust us Not triggering users to trade hurts the business but in the long run it's good for the customers"

"Trump vs. Harris who will win If you feel the pulse of the US through Twitter it definitely feels like Trump. But Twitter is a bubble and doesn't necessarily represent the election results or reality for that matter. What makes it even more skewed is that the majority of the tweets are generated by less than 1% of Twitters user base. So yeah I don't know. But it's definitely not wise to form views based on your Twitter feed"

You could be a great founder with excellent execution skills but still struggle in an unfavorable macro environment.

Every time I think about this I realize how fortunate we have been in terms of macros both as a country and through government initiatives.
