Zerodha Fund House's philosophy is rooted in offering simple, transparent products that can serve as the core building blocks of an investor's portfolio. By joining ONDC, Zerodha Fund House is extending its digital-first distribution strategy to a broader ecosystem, capitalizing on the nationwide shift from physical to digital consumer behavior.

This collaboration aligns perfectly with ONDC’s objective of creating an inclusive, investor-driven ecosystem.

“We believe this is the 'UPI moment' for investments in India. For years, we've witnessed how India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) can create magic. Aadhaar gave us identity, and UPI gave us a seamless way to exchange value. Now, with ONDC, we have the rails for open and democratic financial services. We are proud to be building on top of India's DPI and contributing to this transformative journey,” said Vishal Jain, CEO of Zerodha Fund House.

The integration will feature Zerodha Fund House's suite of passive products, which includes funds across equity, debt, and commodities. With an aggregate AUM of approximately Rs 8,000 crores, the fund house has consistently focused on innovation to simplify the investor journey.
