Online Stock Trading in India started around 15-20 years back but in the last few years has picked rapid pace. More and more people prefer to do online share trading through app/ website as compared to going through the traditional route i.e. through their nearby sub-brokers.
Almost all good brokers now have their online presence and offer the functionality of online stock trading. However, not all brokers are technologically advanced as a result of which they offer only limited functionalities.
In this fast paced world, most of investors prefer a one-stop shop for all their investment needs and prefer to open a demat account through which they can manage their complete portfolio and invest money in any asset class across the globe. But, very few stock brokers offer a complete basket of services through their demat account online and one such broker who offers these functionalities is MotilalOswal.
MotilalOswal recently revamped its website as well as Investor pp which is very easy to use and offers a wide array of comprehensive services. Some of the key features of the new and upgraded MotilalOswal’s Online Demat Account and Investor App are discussed below.
