Who are the largest brokerage firms in India?

ICICI on the other hand is steadily growing.

Just in 2 years; UCC went to 77 lakhs from 64 lakhs in July 2017 [data shared by Nitin] .

Latest data of June: https://www.nseindia.com/invest/content/arbitration_reports/report_1c_2019_20.htm

Can you give the updated list ?

Can you give the updated list ?

From Sep 2018 to Aug 2019, Zerodha added 1.82L and upstox added 1.73L active clients as per nse data.

The numbers are almost same inspite of Zerodha’s great features on kite, TV integration, order execution speed(far better than upstox) and other upgrades.

Personally I don’t like UI interface of upstox and it gets lots of technical issue (but it doesn’t get highlighted like zerodha). they have intelligently collaborated with YouTube traders who get commission when their referrals trades in upstox account.
These youtubers literally oppose zerodha in their videos, spread some conspiracy theories against zerodha (technical issues, counter trading etc) and ask them not to open account in zerodha or shift to upstox - just because zerodha doesn’t offers any brokerage commission to them.
Upstox and some others (fyres, Alice blue) surely has taken advantage of this.

@nithin your team should at least think about conspiracy theories spreading over YouTube and other social media.

help me sir

Hmm… they are adding a free Rs 50 share if you open an account, account which is free. So yeah, automatically gets active. I don’t know how many of these actually trade. I don’t know active on this list is really the right metric to look at. But since everyone seems to be now tracking this list, it has become a vanity metric.

There is no way to stop conspiracy theories, we are working on putting as many new products and features that can help our clients. Hopefully the growth continues to be organic.

Can you tell approx number of clients in zerodha trading more then one crore in account.
Also do you have any plans to provide extra features to big investors in Zerodha something like customer segmentation which is done in leading banks etc.

I am afraid that info can’t be shared out.

Not as of now.

I as a Upstox partner can tell you that more than 50% of the clients are active. I became AP of Upstox in March 2019 and till now I have 58 customers on Upstox. Out of them 33 customers have traded till now. With brokerage sharing of 30%. I have made Rs 23320 just in brokerage and the rest in incentive. So per customer I have made Rs 402 (30% sharing). So obviously customer like Upstox as a company and are trading actively. The main reason why customers are opening account with Upstox is that they are not charging account opening fees. The month in which they started with Free Demat Days that is when they started getting 15-20 thousand accounts per month. Also they are giving Rs 100 free stock after you open the account. India is a price sensitive market so I guess customers at times choose Upstox and 5paisa over Zerodha. Zerodha doesn’t believe in marketing which is also the reason why Upstox and 5paisa are getting more customers. Now with $25 M investment of Tiger Global in Upstox will surely make things difficult for Zerodha.

Wish money can make great products only then bing could have been greatest search engine, orkut would have been still widely used, touchpad from HP to compete apple’s ipod would be in existence,people would be drinking New coke from cococola, crystal pepsi from Pepsico but all these are vanished in history inspite of having heavy backing, mighty marketing and PR teams. So, it is just perception of few people to believe throwing away money into marketing will sell products. I am not saying other product is inept but just letting you know that money alone is not sufficient to build great things.

With extra money one can give more offers but till when these will long. At some point of time company should start making money, it should have sustainable revenues to provide good products and great experience to it’s clients. Offering free account is certainly not a bad thing to do, may be in future we can do some changes but my point is free offers are not sustainable for longer times or should have other solid sources for income generation to back them.

Anyhow India is a very big country and around 6.8 crore Indians filed Income tax returns last year but we have only around 80 lakh active traders, Our aim is to increase this ecosystem and we welcome anyone doing this and we never consider anyone as our competition.Wish more and new investors you will be adding to this ecosystem. Best wishes.

@Nithin clarified it in past in one of the posts that Zerodha has no intention to change their pricing model. And he is right TBH, why change anything that has been working like charm for them. From business POV monthly plans will be loss making idea in long run for brokers.

I think Zerodha should start charging Rs 10 per trade (Including Equity Delivery). 5paisa is doing the same. This is a good deal for everyone. @nithin

This is my personal opinion but wondering why not 30 or 40, few others are charging more right. Also they charge for eq but at zerodha it is free right, mf buying is also free, compare the dp charges, anyhow price comparisons apart one should mainly see quality of products and features available. Only when companies have solid source of income stream they can spend on infra, research and development etc. Can take initiatives to try something new which is not available till now. Zerodha started with 20 rs in 2010 and still charging the same and made eq /mf fully free so as to bring more people into the ecosystem.

Many discount brokers don’t charge for equity. So they are at par with Zerodha on brokerage. PayTM Money is free which most of the people use for MF investments.

Less than 1%(In fact less than 0.1%) of the traders are making money in the market consistently. So I thought that charging for equity is the best thing to do. Anyways Zerodha is doing well without any doubt. I have an account in Zerodha.

But they are not adding any value for business, burning VC money.Point is one should able to add value to customers at same time should able to do with sustainable business model.

May be that can be another reason not to charge, and push more clients to invest instead trade.
