Hi @nithin sir, I have one specific question for you:
What would have you done differently if you had to start Zerodha in 2025 all over again with decades of experience considering the competitions.

Everyone wants to do broking in 2025.
Zerodha should start a UPI merchant business. UNO reverse!

We would not have started Zerodha 
The market is so crowded, and being another one doing the same thing wouldn’t work. Also our product has evolved over the last 10 years, I don’t think it would make sense to attempt to beat the best today on day 1 of the business.
I would have probably built a brokerage with some other moat probably. Charge higher and offer a better research maybe. Of course the customers would have been much lesser, but you could still earn significantly.

Bingo, this is brilliant. Market still needs a player who can do this. People like me atleast still need someone to guide on investments.

@nithin, I think you should advertise Streak and Sensibull more. They offer tools and strategies similar to research that could help people in the future. This might also make these companies more popular and last longer.
I believe eventually people or must have been moving more towards these products for a better approach.
There are alternatives. I know a broker that has Sensibull like features integrated (their own product) for Free
which one?
Starts with D
They have a core issue (by-product of building their own OMS from scratch) of ‘delayed margin updating’ when you quickly roll options positions…
I have account with that broker. I once checked their option strategy platform. And I dont think its better than sensibull
Sensibul is free right?
Yes, for Z. Point is such services are slowly becoming the norm.
They also have something called scanX
I find that even the free version of the Chartink website is far superior to other scanning websites. You should check it out 
Everyone will do this. If some broker is not providing, his customer wil look for alternatives.
This open for everyone? I opened the account 2 days ago with this broker. Finding it very difficult and looking at everything they have… I want to say UI sucks big time.
yes… their main web app is too busy looking. For options, their dedicated portal ‘Dhan Options Trader’ is better. And yes ScanX is Free for all of that Brokers users. Guys, please Google, dont ask here 
Btw, for Options execution and API, I still use Z as my main broker 
Seeing people who barely trade comparing apples and oranges here is funny. 
ScanX is not Sensibul. These guys have Tijori for that, when i meant open for everyone, are they allowing without signing with them or other broker users can use.
There is some overlap. Theres FII DII insights in it.
