Mobikwik secures SEBI nod to launch stockbroking operations Fintech firm Mobikwik has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to operate as a stockbroker and clearing member through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mobikwik Securities Broking Private Limited (MSBPL). The regulatory clearance, granted under SEBI’s Stock Broker Regulations, 1992, allows the company to buy, sell, and deal in securities on behalf of clients, as well as carry out clearing and settlement of trades. MSBPL may also undertake other exchange-approved activities. Mobikwik had incorporated MSBPL in March 2025, marking its formal entry into the capital markets ecosystem. With this move, the company joins the crowded stock broking space dominated by platforms such as Groww, Zerodha, AngelOne, Upstox, and ICICI Direct. Groww currently leads the sector in terms of active user base, followed by Zerodha and AngelOne. The development signals Mobikwik’s continued push to diversify beyond payments into broader financial services. Soon after launching MSBPL, the company set up a wholly owned NBFC subsidiary, while another subsidiary, Zaakpay, received RBI approval to operate as a payment aggregator.
