When will zerodha launch a Demo trading platforms?

we have more important things to solve for and on our list of things to do, before we get to building a demo trading platform.

Btw another issue with demo trading platform is - Dabba trading. Dabba trading is where an operator allows people to settle all profits and losses in cash, no real trading happens on the exchange. Historically these trades were getting noted down on a sheet of paper and then settled. There have been cases found recently where demo platforms was used for book keeping, instead of a sheet of paper. Imagine the implications for a regulated broker, if their demo platform was used for this purpose. The regulated entity will be the easiest person to blame. As a business we are also essentially in a way trading, we take up building new initiatives where the risk to reward is in the favor of the business, not against it. Otherwise like many traders, we could be doing well for a period of time, but eventually give up everything earned if this basic risk to reward principle is not kept in mind.

All the regulators are taking strict actions wherever dabba trading is spotted, but is still rampant in cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Jaipur, Kolkatta, etc, where business communities probably still earn quite a bit in cash.

From here.

But ICICI somehow manages to provide it, though I am not sure how close it is to their actual trading platform.

Though it doesn’t teach you trading, it helps new traders in learning to control their emotions and the closer it is to actual live trading platform, the better…
