Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath raised concerns about the perceived rise of investors from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities versus actual trading activity.
Kamath mentioned that while KYC records indicate more investors from smaller cities, the majority of trading activity is still concentrated in the top 20 cities.
He explained that discrepancies arise because users often do not update their addresses despite moving to different cities.
Kamath cautioned against misinterpreting data that suggests a significant surge in stock market participation from non-metro areas.
