“Equity investors @zerodhaonline have realised a profit of Rs 50,000 crore over the last 4+ years and are sitting on unrealised profits of Rs 1,00,000 crore on an assets under management (AUM) of Rs 4,50,000 crore."

“By the way, most of the AUM was added in the last four years,” he announced.

On the Lok Sabha election results day, more than Rs 8,000 crore in funds was added on Zerodha's Kite app.

Last week, Kamath hailed the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for making the markets safer and investor-friendly.
