We only went ahead with CDSL because they had a local representative, Harisha, in Bengaluru.
+After that, pretty much all the other new brokers also chose CDSL. Of course, this only worked because CDSL ensured that their tech could handle the scale of all this new business.
+The increase in CDSL demats from 2016 was almost entirely due to Harisha and the butterfly effect🦋 😀</description></item><item><title>Nine years of Rainmatter</title><link>https://nithinkamath.me/blog/nine-years-of-rainmatter/</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://nithinkamath.me/blog/nine-years-of-rainmatter/</guid><description>At Rainmatter we invested about Rs 275 crores in 47 startups last year.
