Zerodha ought to improve consciousness in regards to the kill swap characteristic which disables a section for minimal 12 hrs. The unique intention might have been to assist oneself to forestall over buying and selling however it may be used to dam a section if a hacking is suspected. I believe that solely severe merchants who’re extra technologically subtle learn the detailed z join articles the place such initiatives as TOTP, NUDGE and KILL SWITCH are defined. In an effort to unfold information about these options to the bigger zerodha viewers, Video explanations are extra impactful.
On one other be aware, I believe that about 20% of your clients account for majority of the income, principally f&o merchants. Has Zerodha thought of limiting account opening to new clients as they’re those who’ve little or no data about the whole investing/buying and selling ecosystem, will name buyer care extra usually and never contribute a lot income whereas decreasing the client care expertise for the worthwhile shoppers by rising the wait time on the decision or taking extra time to answer to tickets as a result of they’re preoccupied attending to queries from new buyers together with buyers to complain to zerodha due to their assume there’s something fallacious with the platform or some glitch whereas, the issue is that they’re really at fault as their understanding of the platform and the totally different order varieties is missing/flawed. Any views?
That is actually scary . SEBI have to take fast actions towards these kind of actions . In any other case individuals will begin loosing belief on inventory market
