1️⃣ Brokerage – Zerodha primary income
Zerodha biggest income source:
👉 **Brokerage charges**

• Intraday & F&O → Flat ₹20 per order (or lower)
Old brokers:

• Complex charges
Zerodha:
• Transparent pricing
• No hidden fees
👉 Flat fee + huge volume = steady income.

2️⃣ F&O trading – Major revenue contributor
Zerodha users:

Each order:

trading volume itself big business.

• Forums discuss
Organic growth > paid ads.
