One of the biggest changes after COVID has been the sharp rise in the number of women investors.

Before COVID, women accounted for roughly 15–17% of all Zerodha accounts. Today, that number is over 30%. Across markets, that number is around 23%.

That's millions more women investing for the first time across!

Of course, some of these accounts are still managed by the men in the family. However, it's encouraging to see more women from all walks of life taking control of their finances.

We've been running In Her Interest, a women-only initiative to help women learn how to take control of their money. It's an offline, in-person meetup across cities, and the response has been incredible. The turnout, engagement, and quality of conversations have been incredible.

India still has a long way to go when it comes to improving financial literacy among women, but things are changing slowly.

Removing community dogs doesn’t reduce bites; ABC + vaccination does. Science is clear — displacement isn’t a solution.

Rules are not rules without structure, it’s an invitation to more chaos. We need proper planning and empathy!

Life imprisonment for dogs based on unverified reports? No evidence, no fair hearing — only cruelty disguised as control. #NotAwaraYehHamara #SaveIndianDogs #SaveIndianAnimals

When killing a street dog costs ₹50, what happens after a ruling that signals “remove them from sight”? We are normalising violence. @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @TheHindu #SaveIndianDogs #NotAwaraYehHamara #SaveIndianAnimals

If there’s one thing I wish I had done differently when I was hit by a stroke last January, it would be to go to the hospital immediately, within the Golden Hour (<4.5 hours), instead of thinking I could just sleep it off.

This “nothing will happen to me” attitude is common, especially among those under 50. But the truth is, strokes are rising sharply, up to nearly 30% of all strokes in the last few years, among 30 to 50-year-olds.

When it comes to strokes, time is brain; every minute counts.

Thanks to @timesofindia for featuring this on World Stroke Day today.

Tackling stray dog menace! #straydogs

[Priyanka Adhikary @reachmepriyanka]

@MeghUpdates Please show the animal cruelty numbers too, how many dogs were beaten to death, poisoned, injured, and raped. What actions were taken against the accused? Please google search videos of how dogs are being abused by ruthless humans too.

Walk behind Clarence Public School at Dollars Colony in JP Nagar and you’ll spot something special.

A little tribute to a stray dog named Pikachu. People loved him so much they made art for him.

Now BBMP is feeding 5000 strays cooked chicken rice every day. @peakbengaluru

One of the biggest challenges in building a financial services business is that the incentives are often skewed toward doing what’s good for the business and not for the customer. It’s very hard to consistently put customers first.

This is one of the main reasons why finance apps are full of dark patterns, more than almost any other category. Dark patterns are design tricks used in apps and websites to make you do things that are not in your best interest. From pointless “gamification” and casino-like features to manipulative notifications, lack of transparency, and pushing harmful financial products, many platforms are, in some ways, incentivised to work against their own users.

“Show me the incentives, and I'll show you the outcome.” - Charlie Munger

One reason Zerodha users trust us with their money is because we’ve avoided these practices from day one. Doing what’s right for our customers has always been at the heart of our philosophy.

We recently recorded a video breaking down the most common dark patterns in finance apps.
