To trade in exchange offered financial instruments like stocks, derivatives and IPO etc., you need a trading account and demat account. You cannot trade with these accounts. A trading account and a demat account are different from each other and serve different purposes.
Before digitalization of stock exchanges, traders had to go to stock exchanges and verbally bid for financial instruments to trade. The certificate of their investments were transferred in hard copies. All that changed when BSE, NSE, MCX etc., adopted technology and enabled online trading. This necessitated the need for trading and demat accounts.
Online trading allows you to trade from anywhere. To facilitate online trading, a trading account is necessary. And to facilitate transfer of certificates of financial instruments, a demat account is needed.

A trading account is opened with a brokerage company which then gives you access to a platforms. The platforms are available on web and mobile. You can use these platforms to buy and sell financial instruments in various exchanges.
A demat account works like a bank. It is an online place where all the certificates of your holdings are stored. When you buy a financial instrument, the certificates are automatically credited to the demat account linked with your trading account and are debited when you sell the holdings.
The demat accounts are managed by central depositories in India, NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited) and CDSL (Central Depository Securities Limited). Brokerage companies only act as an intermediary between the investor and the central depository.
