''Also, very proud of the amazing team at ZFH that's innovating with industry-first products while charting our own unique path by building differently — with a direct-only, passive-only approach,'' he added.

After getting capital markets regulator Sebi's approval, Zerodha Fund House forayed into the mutual fund space with the launch of passive funds in October 2023. Before that, in April last year, Zerodha formed a JV with Amazon-backed wealth management firm smallcase to build an asset management company.

At present, 45 mutual fund players are managing an asset base of over Rs 50 lakh crore.
