Zerodha CEO Highlights User Retention as Key Challenge in Stockbroking Industry
Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath identifies user retention as the biggest challenge in the stockbroking industry, noting many investors eventually stop trading after losses or depleting capital. This issue affects both futures and options as well as equity markets, forcing brokerages to continuously acquire new customers to maintain active user bases. Kamath shared that around 55-60% of Zerodha's users remain active, a figure he suggests is higher than the broader industry's retention rate.
