Indian markets have recovered some ground recently, but zoom out, and they've largely gone nowhere for over two years.

For investors who started after 2020, this may be their first long stretch of disappointing returns. But history has plenty of examples of markets taking much longer to recover.

A few charts from history. 🧵

Someone on the team asked me the story behind why brokerage is free for all trades during the Diwali Muhurat trading session.

Honestly, there isn't a backstory. We kept brokerage free as a way of saying thank you to all the customers for trading with someone like us, who was very new at the time. And in the 16 years since, we've kept it the same for every Muhurat session.🪔

Happy Diwali 🪔

This week (till 5 Nov), the Nifty 50 rose 6.4%. But US Nasdaq fell 4.4%, Japan’s Nikkei dropped 3.5% & South Korea’s Kospi crashed 6.1%.

This is interesting because…(1/n)

Hi Arshil, you placed a CO order for SilverBees. Since your primary order was partially filled at that point, the SL order would have resulted in a self-trade (your own buy order matching with your pending SL order). Hence, it was canceled by the exchange. Your pending SL order has also been canceled.

In August, I'd written about SEBI's proposal to simplify account opening for NRIs. Good to see that the changes have now been finalised.

For years, one of the biggest hurdles for NRIs wanting to invest in India has been account opening. While those with existing KYC could open accounts digitally, anyone abroad needing fresh KYC had to get documents attested by a notary or the Indian embassy, courier physical copies to India, and wait weeks for the account to open.

From December 3, NRIs and OCIs living in FATF-compliant countries will be able to complete digital KYC entirely from abroad. Something that took weeks can now be done in 2–3 days.

I've always felt that making it easier for NRIs to invest is one of the simplest ways to attract more long-term capital into India. Many of them already want to invest here, but the process has been complicated.

At @zerodha, we've been able to simplify several things for NRIs over the last year, but account opening has remained one of the biggest challenges.

With this change, there's no reason why you, as an NRI, should go elsewhere to trade and invest 🙂

In 2012, before we had a tech team, our second tech vendor was KuVi, a services company Vinay Kumar C started right after college.

Vinay was introduced to us by Renuka, who's now an AVP on our support team. She said she had a friend who could take care of all our tech needs, from hosting our website to building our first CRM and pretty much everything else.

We said yes, partly because they were charging us just ₹15,000 a month. We were also among their very first customers😄

But as we started growing, unfortunately, KuVi didn't. In 2016, Vinay shut it down and joined us, along with a few of his team members, including Sharath and Rocco.

I keep talking about Vinay to everyone at @zerodha. I've always felt he's probably one of the most level-headed people in the business. Not just because of everything he's done for Zerodha, but more importantly, because of how he handled the difficult decision to shut down something he had built.

I think how people deal with things when they don't go as planned says a lot about who they are.🙂

@BUGFIXER5n @AskZerodha @Iamsamiirrr Hi, we've already responded to the above DM.

Yesterday was probably a record day for equity delivery selling, thanks to Jio Platforms, with investors selling shares after the listing.

By the way, our customers would have saved anywhere between ₹1.5 crore and ₹10 crore in brokerage alone, based on what others charge. This doesn't include potential additional savings on DP charges, ours is one of the lowest.

Our brokerage on equity delivery is still zero.🙂
