- Groww
Participated · Equity · Nov 2025
Founded in 2016, Groww began as a direct-to-consumer mutual fund distributor and has evolved into a full-stack wealth management platform offering stockbroking, digital lending, and allied financial services. It now holds the position of India’s largest stockbroker with 13 million active traders as of February, outpacing rivals Zerodha and Angel One. The company recently deepened its advisory capabilities by acquiring PayU-backed fintech Fisdom for roughly $150 million. Financially, Groww’s FY25 revenue rose 31 % year-over-year to Rs 4,056 crore while net profit more than tripled to Rs 1,819 crore, a sharp turnaround from the prior year’s one-time tax-driven net loss. Its valuation has more than doubled since 2021, reflecting strong investor confidence. In May, Groww confidentially filed draft papers with SEBI for an IPO targeting $700 million–$1 billion, underscoring its near-term expansion ambitions. Existing backers include Peak XV Partners, Tiger Global, Ribbit Capital, Iconiq Capital, and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC.
