History
RKSV was formed in 2009 by three cofounders: Raghu Kumar, Ravi Kumar and Shrinivas Viswanath. Prior to being RKSV founders, the first two of the three co-founders, Ravi and Raghu, who incidentally are brothers, ran their own proprietary trading fund in the US before moving to India. And for the next three years the company only did proprietary trading.
In 2011-12, RKSV opened up to general public by entering into retail brokering, and launched online-only unlimited trading plan that allowed retail traders to cut down considerably on their brokerage costs. This was soon followed by a blanket-brokerage package that allowed their customers to trade without limit for Rs. 1947 per month. Apart from introducing a flat-fee pay-as you-go trading, they launched many new brokerage plans over the time, including 5 free trades per month in 2014 that supposedly was intended to increase the investor participation.
