Reviews on Motilal Oswal
Sandeep Sakaria 
08 September 2014 Motilal is a very good broker, they are customer oriented and will give you good tips, I read lot of negative reviews here, but personally I have had experience. I think Motilal's Relationship Managers are better than any other brokers. What I am saying is backed up with profit from last 6 months, If you planning to trade in equities I suggest this broker.

15 May 2014I used to have an account with Motilal Oswal a long time ago and I'd opened this account on the insistence of my friend who had just paid a hefty sum to become a sub-broker with them. I was a novice and since I had opened my account with the sub-broker, no knowledge was passed onto me. Instead my friend said he'll trade for me. I'd invested a lakh and I was poorer by Rs. 90000 in a month.

28 August 2014@Sinha - just goes to show, if they come on TV doesn't mean they are the best. People blindly follow broker cause he comes on TV. I use to follow the Motilal guy, SP Tulsian and Sudarshan Sukhani.. Sudharshan is ok, rest is crap.. Motilal have made enough money taking from clients not making in market themself
