Varun MayyaHOST
You become a fundamentally unprofitable company.
Varun MayyaHOST
But the best companies in India, and there's a podcast I did with Nithin Kamath.
Varun MayyaHOST
I don't know if any of you have watched it.
Varun MayyaHOST
There's a podcast I did maybe a year ago or two years ago with Nithin Kamath, and in the ending, he says something very profound.
Varun MayyaHOST
He says that actually Zerodha has had no cost of acquisition for a very long time, and they don't run ads.
Varun MayyaHOST
And he's like, "Our entire margin is exactly the cost of our advertising." The cost of advertising and the cost of whatever they would have spent if they didn't have organic reach, they would have had to spend that in acquiring customers.
Rahul ChowdhriHOST
... which is a, a platform business, uh, where he's helped ...
Rahul ChowdhriHOST
it has helped him or Nitin Kamath, as you said, right?
Chandan MendirattaGUEST
Definitely.
Rahul ChowdhriHOST
Uh, paid versus non-paid.
Varun MayyaHOST
Yeah.
Varun MayyaHOST
This is, uh, I think a tweet from Nitin Kamath, right? So he said that in two years they started doing content, and I think they've become very sophisticated about this, right? Uh, we've been helping them, of course, but I think they've not done any performance marketing.
Varun MayyaHOST
If you look at the views, Zero1, Zero1 by Zerodha has done six crore views.
Varun MayyaHOST
I think they've done totally like ten-ish crore views.

The more trades, the greater his revenue.

Now look at what Nithin Kamath does.
Volodymyr KhomichenkoNARRATOR
He publicly and persistently urges his customers to trade less.
Volodymyr KhomichenkoNARRATOR
To see how strange that is, consider what the rest of the industry does.
Anupam GuptaHOST
Welcome back to Pesa Pesa.
Anupam GuptaHOST
This is the second episode of our three-part series with Nithin Kamath of Zerodha.
Anupam GuptaHOST
I'm your host, Anupam Gupta, B50 on Twitter.
Anupam GuptaHOST
In the first part, we discuss Nitin's absolutely fascinating journey and his career and how he set up Zerodha.
Anupam GuptaHOST
Zerodha today is India's largest discount brokerage, and I'll leave it up to our guest to introduce us to Zerodha, what it means also, the word, and a lot of other stuff.
Anupam GuptaHOST
So with me, I have the founder of Zerodha, Nithin Kamath, and we're gonna do this podcast in three parts.
Anupam GuptaHOST
In the first part, we are gonna cover Nithin's really fascinating journey to setting up Zerodha.
Anupam GuptaHOST
I know a lot of, uh, listeners out there are interested in entrepreneurship and stuff like that, and believe me, Nithin's early career could probably take an, an entire hour, but we're gonna spend just about 20 minutes on, on that for the first part.
