Zerodha Smashes $1 Billion Revenue Barrier in FY24: A Fintech Giant’s Historic Leap!
- Zerodha, India’s leading stock trading platform, crossed $1 billion in revenue for FY24, marking a 37% operational growth and an 89% profit rise.
- Managing assets worth ₹5.66 lakh crore, Zerodha credits its success to innovative, low-cost services and user-focused strategies.
- Facing potential challenges from SEBI’s new regulations, Zerodha’s achievement showcases the power of local innovation and sustainability in fintech.

The Numbers That Tell the Story
- Revenue: Zerodha’s revenue from operations jumped by an impressive 37.16% to reach ₹9,372 crore (over $1.1 billion), showcasing a robust increase from ₹6,832 crore in the previous fiscal year.
- Net Profit: The company’s net profit skyrocketed by 89% to ₹5,496 crore from ₹2,908 crore, underlining Zerodha’s financial health and operational efficiency.
- Total Income: Including other gains, Zerodha’s total income reached ₹9,994 crore, a surge of 45.32% from the previous year’s ₹6,877 crore.
Behind the Billion Dollar Milestone
Zerodha’s success story is one of simplicity and customer focus. Founded by the Kamath brothers, Nithin and Nikhil, in 2010, Zerodha has grown from a startup to a fintech behemoth by:
- Democratizing Finance: Offering low-cost trading and investment options, making financial markets accessible to the average Indian.
- User Growth: Zerodha’s client base has expanded, with the platform now managing assets worth ₹5.66 lakh crore (over $68 billion).
- Innovation: Introducing features like Kite, their user-friendly trading app, and educational initiatives through Varsity, which help users understand finance better.
Challenges on the Horizon
Despite the celebration, Zerodha’s CEO, Nithin Kamath, has highlighted upcoming regulatory changes by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) that could potentially impact future growth. These regulations focus on:
- F&O Trading: Changes in the futures and options (F&O) segment might affect revenue, with Kamath predicting a possible 30% drop in trades due to new norms.
- Transaction and Maintenance Fees: Adjustments in how fees are charged could influence Zerodha’s business model.
A Beacon for Indian Startups
Zerodha’s journey from a bootstrapped startup to a billion-dollar enterprise serves as an inspiration. It demonstrates:
- The Power of Local Innovation: Zerodha has shown that understanding local needs and catering to them can lead to global success.
- Sustainability and Profitability: Unlike many startups that rely on external funding, Zerodha’s model of self-sustainability through operational profits is a lesson in business acumen.
What This Means for You
This milestone not only marks a new chapter for Zerodha but also sets the stage for a thriving fintech ecosystem in India, where technology and finance are intertwined to create something truly remarkable for everyone.
