The technical snag disrupted lakhs of retail traders during market hours, sparking confusion and frustration.

Several users took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the outage. One trader wrote, “Zerodha down. Anyone else facing this issue? Aise kaise chalega.” Another posted, “Zerodha facing glitches. Rates are not updating on app. Are you facing the same problem?”

The glitch also sparked a wave of memes. One user joked, “#Zerodha ki Patang (Kite) Kat hi jati hai Internet Se!” Another quipped, “Sab stocks and indices Zero Kaise ho gaye? INDIAN Economy ZERO KAR DIYE KYA ZERODHA WALE?” while one frustrated trader wrote, “Nifty 0 ho gaya be!”

Zerodha Responds: Issue Resolved
