To their surprise, Kamath replied within 10 minutes, offering immediate solutions and sharing Zerodha's roadmap to address trust barriers with banks.
This interaction highlighted Zerodha's commitment to treating feedback as a growth opportunity and underscored the importance of responsiveness in building loyalty in highly regulated industries.
Despite closing the account, the user declared unwavering trust in Zerodha, showcasing how speed and customer obsession can transform skeptics into advocates. This story reinforces the idea that listening to feedback and acting swiftly can ripple into lasting movements in the digital-first brokerage space.
