Zerodha's Nithin Kamath on why WFH can't work for everyone: ‘Big gaps in…’

Zerodha's co-founder, Nithin Kamath, shared his thoughts on the impact of work from home (WFH) on employee collaboration. He stated that while WFH worked well for support roles, it was detrimental for tech, business, and decision-making teams due to communication gaps.

Kamath also mentioned a blog by Zerodha's CTO, Kailash Nadh, discussing the challenges and benefits of remote work.

Retail trading may be impacted if giants like Jane Street step back, warns Zerodha CEO

Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath warns that retail trading could be affected if proprietary trading firms like Jane Street scale back activity, as they constitute nearly 50% of options trading volumes. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) barred Jane Street for manipulating indices, impacting exchanges and brokers. The firm's potential pullback may significantly reduce market activity, demonstrating reliance on such firms for maintaining trading volume. Kamath praised SEBI's regulatory actions against alleged "blatant market manipulation."

Nithin Kamath warns of explosion of fake apps that mimic broker interfaces, promise easy trading profits

Zerodha's co-founder, Nithin Kamath, has issued a warning about the increasing number of fake trading apps that deceive users by mimicking popular broker interfaces and promising easy money. Kamath explains that these scams start by adding users to WhatsApp groups and prompting them to install fake trading apps that resemble genuine platforms. In the beginning, users are allowed to make profits to convince them of the app's legitimacy, but when they attempt to withdraw the money, they are asked to make upfront payments, after which the scammers disappear. Kamath advises people to be skeptical of claims of easy money and not to fall for such scams.
