I just opened my account with Zerodha. Account opening process was a pleasure and everything went well. Until today when I tried to access my Zerodha account online. Their claim on home page "First HTML5 online trading platform" was one of the reason to open an account beside the flat brokerage offer. I thought may be it was a problem with Chrome, then I tried in Firefox. I didn't expect from Zerodha that they would also ask their users to use "Crappy Internet Explorer". Well how am I supposed to access my trading account. I use Linux. I am a strict Linux only user and refrain from using any MS products. For the sole reason that there's no good CandleStick charting application for Linux for BSE/NSE I built my own charting application for personal use. Seriously I am tired from this topsy-turvy world. It all is giving me headache now and making me contemplate why am I writing this all. Have to install crappy Windows now. Sorry Zerodha, but this is very disappointing, after all the claims of being a revolutionary broker. It's ok that your company is kind of a startup per se, but why haven't you marketed your online trading application to be in a beta stage considered it isn't a cross browser/platform compatible. With thousands of web frameworks out there what does it takes to build true cross platform application beside effort and a good team, that a company like Zerodha can obviously arrange.
Anyway,everyone is such a Lebowsky in this country of ours! From TV,ISP's, Print Media,Retailers,Beuracrats,Middle Men(Dalals),Politicians,etc to our Transport systems receiving a scrupulous service is serendipity to be honest.
