Aditya Birla Capital is a well-known name when it comes to financial services. However, when it comes to trading & investment services for NRIs it doesn't measure up to its reputation. The company doesn't have a major USP for NRIs. It doesn't offer 3-in-1 accounts. The choices in trading platforms are limited. There are many better options available in the market.

Composite Edge offers a 2-in-1 account for NRIs to trade and invest across equity, mutual fund, IPO, bonds, and PMS. The brokerage charges are higher than other discount brokers. It doesn't have its own trading platforms and so is depended on the platform owners for up-gradation and resolving technical issues. Overall, there's not a single key offering or market differentiator from the stock broker to attract NRIs. There are better choices available in the market.
