What’s the story behind naming Zerodha’s “Kite” app? @nithin
This was K’s (Kailash) idea, he likes to come up with most of the new product names now. Kite, Coin, Pulse, Console, etc. 
Kite because Kite is very light and can also fly high. 
Btw, Zerodha & Tradingqna was my idea. Also, console was previously called Q (Q from James Bond) and that was my idea. As you must have realised by now, I am more dramatic.

The names are also quite simple to remember and the apps are also quite easy to use. Many times instead of having a fancy name, a simple sounding name works better.
You are very well in naming your application like console, kite but you can’t afford to see a client making profit everyday and that is the reason you removed Desktop trading platform NEST.EXE.
