Zerodha Broker

Rating: 2.3 / 5

Zerodha is the largest and cheapest online broker offering commission-free investments, low-cost trades, and proprietary trading platforms that support API trading. Zerodha notes that 10M+ of Zerodha traders account for 15% of Indian retail order volumes. I decided to review this broker to determine if its low-cost trading environment suffices to offer Indian investors and traders a competitive edge. Should you trade with Zerodha?
