Zerodha questions
How does zerodha hire at all? Heard they are a team of 35 .how are they even doing it?are there any zerodha employees who can answer?
I have never seen people switching jobs from Zerodha. Correct me if I’m wrong here. I’m just curious
Small Team. High Average Revenue per Employee
They are well taken care of. Classic example of a tech company at scale. 📐
Classic example? Name one other "classic" lol
Google during the 2010s Yahoo during the late 90s
I've listened to bunch of podcasts from Kamath brothers. The clear standout I see with them is that they've never chased quick customer acquisition through mindless discounting, offers or advertising. Their growth has been completely organic: true word of mouth goodwill. . That's why their customer retention is super high. And hence revenue stream is very smooth and predictable, not fluctuating with seasonal ups and downs in market. . As a result they've never had to make overly ambitious or downright unachievable false promises, or set any unrealistic expectations with their investors (and afterwards chase down their team to graves to meet them.) . So everything moves at a smooth, sustainable pace.
Afaik they don't have external investors.
Their customers may be all weather but broker incomes are highly cyclical and subject to markets
Half of the tech zerodha runs is on license, almost all brokerage firms use the same software, charting is from trading view, trade execution is from some other company. If you are not building anything new why would you need ppl, the only thing that they built is the authentication system, we all saw what happened to that service after recent elections results, the system failed left right and centre and ppl lost money.
Even the charting tool from tradingview got disabled during the outage. The platform is seeing more and more outages in recent times
Zerodha has less than 50 employees overall. They are very well oiled cycle
They have over a thousand employees - the tech team itself is under 35-40 people total. Their ops compliance and support team isn’t small by any stretch

Heard lots of stories about the person on right. Too volatile, jittery.
