Motilal Oswal is a popular name in the financial services industry in India. The company offers a range of online trading and investment services to NRIs. NRIs get free access to the trading platform and dedicated research team that provides market insights through published reports on the economy, market trends, and sectors. Higher brokerage makes it expensive for investors/traders who don't need advisory services.

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.
