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.

Alice Blue, the Bangalore based financial service provider, doesn't offer services to NRI customer. If you are an NRI and looking for an online discount broker for investing in India, you should consider Zerodha or ProStocks.
