Zerodha, India's largest trading platform, has revealed that it has not gone public yet due to the need for revenue predictability in its brokerage business. The company is focused on diversifying its risk by building various other revenue streams. It believes that a public listing would bring unnecessary burden and expectations from investors, potentially compromising its long-term customer-centric decision-making. Zerodha is already diversifying its business through products like Margin Trade Funding (MTF), public market investments, private market investments through Rainmatter, and ventures like Zerodha Fund House and Ditto Insurance.

Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath praised the Indian government's decision to simplify the approval process for merging an overseas-incorporated company, particularly a startup, with its wholly-owned Indian subsidiary. The move eliminates the need for clearance from the National Company Law Tribunal, which has been delaying such mergers. The updated regulations aim to facilitate "reverse flipping," where startups return to India to take advantage of regulatory and investment opportunities. Kamath highlighted the growing Indian stock market, increased household investments, and the need for more Indian businesses to be located in India.
