My guest today is Nithin Kamath, Founder and CEO of Zerodha. The last 10 years in the Indian start-up ecosystem have been flushed with venture capital, especially from the West. The country understandably has hit an inflection point and capital allocators are bullish on the potential to build world-scale businesses in India today. One of the most fascinating businesses in India that's not as talked about and has taken no outside investor capital, though, is Zerodha, India's largest stockbroker. And the scale is staggering.
Today, the company is 13 years old, has over 11 million users and last year did over $250 million in profit. It's a story of building the business the right way and for the long-term. I was thrilled to chat with Nithin today to explore the step function growth in the business, the market and the country that enabled Zerodha's rapid ascent. Please enjoy my conversation with Nithin Kamath.
