Description:
Nithin Kamath is the dynamic and forward-thinking founder and CEO of Zerodha, India’s largest stock brokerage firm in terms of active retail clients. Born and raised in Karnataka, Nithin began his journey in the world of finance at a young age, driven by curiosity and passion for trading. Before founding Zerodha, he spent over a decade trading stocks and derivatives, gaining first-hand experience with the challenges and limitations faced by retail investors in India.
In 2010, he launched Zerodha with a bold vision: to simplify and democratize stock trading in India. At a time when traditional brokerages charged high commissions and offered poor technology, Zerodha introduced a game-changing model—zero brokerage on equity delivery trades and a flat fee on intraday and F&O trades. This low-cost, transparent pricing strategy, combined with a strong focus on technology and customer experience, disrupted the Indian brokerage industry.
