Brokerage platform Zerodha will allow its customers to trade in US stock market via GIFT City beginning next quarter.
The plan has been under development for multiple years but faced delays due to regulatory hurdles and complexities surrounding cross-border payment mechanisms, said Nithin Kamath, CEO and founder, Zerodha, in an Ask Me Anything session with Zerodha founders and top management on YouTube.
This is significant as Zerodha has stayed away from the US investment product even as many other brokerage firms including Angel One, Axis Direct and JM Financial offer the facility.
Kailash Nadh, CFO, Zerodha, added that the company has overhauled its backend infrastructure to ensure a seamless user experience.
The decision also comes as the company faced pressure on its financials in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
The company's revenue fell to Rs 8,500 crore in FY25 from around Rs 10,000 crore in FY24. Its net profit also declined to Rs 4,200 crore during the financial year from Rs 5,500 crore in the previous fiscal.
Launched in 2010 by brothers Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, the Bengaluru-headquartered brokerage has maintained its bootstrapped status. In the recent years, it is also facing stiff competition from new age venture backed stock broking companies like Groww and Dhan.
