On the backdrop of strong growth in business, Zerodha’s net profit jumped 39 per cent to Rs 2,907 crore in FY23 from Rs 2,094.3 crore in FY22.

Commenting on all the speculations around Zerodha’s valuation, Nithin Kamath, the Co-founder and CEO of the Bengaluru-based stock broking platform, on Thursday stated that the firm is valued at Rs 30,000 crore, or about USD 3.6 billion.

Kamath said, “So if 10 to 15 per cent is the long-term growth, we value ourselves in the range of 10 to 15 times our earnings (PAT). At the lower end when near bull market highs. This is how we have been valuing ourselves for all buybacks (founders and team) for a while now. So about Rs 30,000 crores and not the Rs 1 lakh to Rs 2 lakh crore some folks online were guesstimating."
