Case Study: Zerodha achieves enhanced security, doubled CDN performance, and regulatory compliance with Cloudflare

Zerodha Chooses Cloudflare to Enable Security, Performance and Financial Compliance

Zerodha, India’s largest retail stock broker by active clients and trading volumes, serves over a million customers through platforms like Kite. Rapid growth, rising traffic, stricter regulatory requirements, and a legacy “black‑box” managed services setup left the company needing greater web performance, visibility, cybersecurity, and compliance support.

Zerodha deployed Cloudflare’s CDN, managed DNS, Web Application Firewall (WAF) and advanced DDoS protection, gaining developer‑friendly visibility and automated threat intelligence. The result: compliance requirements addressed, cache performance improved by at least 100%, latency reductions across India, about 80% bandwidth savings from caching, and more proactive, effective security.
