How Dhan, a broking startup, defied a slowing market and turned from dark horse to unicorn
Description

In this episode, we look at Dhan’s journey from a niche platform for power traders to one of India’s newest unicorns.

Tune in.
Correction note: In this episode, the host mistakenly referred to Dhan’s raise as $120 billion; the correct figure is $120 million, led by Hornbill Capital, valuing the company at around $1.2 billion.
