Zerodha is an Indian financial service company (member of NSE, BSE, MCX, MCX-SX),[3][4] that offers retail and institutional broking, currencies and commodities trading, mutual funds, and bonds. Founded in 2010,[5] the company is headquartered in Bangalore and has physical presence in several major Indian cities.[6][7][8]

As of 2019, Zerodha was the largest retail stock broker in India by active client base, and contributes upwards of 2% of daily retail volumes across Indian stock exchanges.[9]

In June 2020, Zerodha entered the unicorn club with a self-assessed valuation of about $1 Billion. This valuation was based on the ESOP buyback exercise the company undertook valuing each share at more than four times of the book value of INR 700 per share. [10]

A flat fee of a maximum of Rs 20 is applied to a trade, irrespective of its size, and it offers an array of purpose built trading applications to its retail customers.[11]

Founded in 2014, Rainmatter was founded as an early-stage fund with a corpus of Rs. 50 Crore. By keeping the ticket size lower than $1 Million per investment, the fund has focused on minimizing risk but focus on funding start-ups in the field of new technology and new product development. Some notable investments of Rainmatter are in start-ups like Cred, Finception, Smallcase and Sensibull.[18][19][20]

True Beacon and Mutual Fund AMC[edit]

In 2019, Zerodha started True Beacon, the Alternative Investment Fund focused on giving returns in volatile markets through their defensive investment strategy. The $2 Million minimum investment fund has been able to generate a return in excess of 13% in its first year. In 2020, Zerodha has applied for a license to establish a Mutual Fund AMC in India.[18][21][22]
