Hello, World – Zerodha, India's largest stock broker (zerodha.tech)

    I like the varsity website: https://zerodha.com/varsity/module/innerworth/

        Thanks for sharing this.
    greatwhitenorth | 15 minutes ago:
    I hope all the positive replies here are from those who actually used Zerodha themselves over a 
    period of time. When I tried it last year, the website was buggy and even saw HTML errors in 
    response. I moved away to a traditional broker as a result of that.

    I have been closely following the progress of Zerodha in such a complex market and also an early 
    customer for them from the time of its launch. With some of the best competitions around like 
    Sharekhan, 5paisa, and Karvy it was nice to see how they started with zero brokerage concepts like 
    Robin. I did not know it is now the largest stockbroker in India. And really nice to see the tech 
    blog starting. I thought it would be a larger team and using a different tech stack and never 
    expected this. And yes, like-minded developers really add more value to the product

    Recently came across Zerodha and had to set it up for a friend. Really good UX, and they've done a 
    good job maintaining with the rapid tech progression.
    
    Also, thanks for the ERPNext.org suggestion - sometimes I wonder how many open source gems I have 
    yet to see. (No, please don't link me to one more awesome-X list :P)

    Bootstrapped, 10 years old and their tech looks great (from a customer UX perspective). Cool that 
    they’re launching a tech blog. I’ve learned a lot from business engineering blogs over the past 
    decade

About:
  _The constellations in the sky stood steeply on their heads, all the stars had made an about 
  turn, but the moon, buried under the featherbed of clouds which were lit by its unseen presence, 
  seemed still to have before her an endless journey and, absorbed in her intricate heavenly 
  procedures, did not think of dawn._
