Zerodha has launched beta access to US stocks and ETFs through its Kite platform, according to Mint. The service allows eligible Indian residents to invest in up to 2,000 companies and around 1,000 funds.
Users can start fractional investing with a minimum of $1. The platform currently supports delivery orders only and applies brokerage charges for transactions.
The offering opens access to major global firms including Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, Meta, Micron, Nvidia, and AMD directly through the broker's established Indian trading interface.
Why it matters
This launch gives Indian retail investors direct, low-barrier access to global equities like Tesla and Nvidia through a familiar domestic broker. With fractional investing starting at just $1, users can diversify portfolios internationally without needing large capital outlays. While limited to delivery orders and subject to brokerage fees, the beta rollout marks a significant expansion in cross-border retail investing options for eligible Indian residents navigating foreign markets.
