Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath on Wednesday said that the broking platform as well as the overall stock market has seen a sharp surge in the number of female investors, who now account for more than 30% of Zerodha’s all accounts.
In a post on X, Kamath called it one of the biggest changes after the COVID-19 pandemic. He said women accounted for nearly 15-17% of all Zerodha accounts before the pandemic. "Today, that number is over 30%. Across markets, that number is around 23%," he wrote, implying that the number of female investors on the platform nearly doubled since the pandemic.
