Paytm Money is already into selling mutual funds and digital gold so stock broking is just a logical extension. The trading app is currently only available to limited Android users. SEBI has already permitted Paytm Money to foray into stock broking.
Currently, Zerodha holds 15% of retail trading volume in India with a sudden surge in client accretions seen during the lockdown. Paytm comes with the added advantage of strong brand recall in smaller cities and towns.
