We’ve been putting out awareness videos on scams in India. This is a reality we can’t ignore and it can happen to anyone, even the smartest people. We keep hearing more first-hand stories from friends, colleagues, and even family members getting targeted.
We’re hosting a special session on digital scam awareness. Quoting @Karthik 's tweet:
Indians lost a staggering ₹23,000 crores to cybercrime in 2024 – a whopping 206% increase from 2023! The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) projects that Indians may lose over ₹1.2 lakh crore to cyber-fraud in the coming year
While anyone can fall victim to these carefully crafted cybercrimes, our senior citizens and less tech-savvy individuals are particularly vulnerable.
This August 15th (Independence Day), we’re hosting a special Zerodha Varsity Live session in both Hindi and English to spread awareness about the most common digital scams and how you can protect yourself from them.
The session is completely free. If you know family members or friends who could benefit from it, please encourage them to join us.
