Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath has expressed concern over the rapid growth of the company's margin trading facility (MTF), which reached nearly ₹9,000 crore. While this leverage has boosted Zerodha's revenue, accounting for about 10%, Kamath warned that a sharp market downturn could trigger forced selling and financial stress. He highlighted the risks of increased margin lending amid volatile markets, urging investors to maintain sufficient cash to avoid forced exits during corrections.
