Groww is one of India’s most loved financial services companies. Founded in 2016, the company offers a multi-product online tech platform that enables users to invest in mutual funds, stocks, ETFs, derivatives trading, commodities trading, and more. The company also operates 915, a pro-trader-focused web platform, and Groww Asset Management Co. Ltd.
With a user-centric approach, Groww’s products are built over a robust technology platform to empower and equip users to make informed financial decisions.
In an ecosystem where most financial services have traditionally been sold through distributors, individual investors often lose out on returns due to commissions. Groww pivoted in 2018 to offer only direct mutual funds at zero commission, helping retail investors save money. This resonated with customers who began investing through Groww and shared their experiences widely — making Groww the platform of choice for new SIPs. Today, one out of every four new SIPs in India happens via Groww.
Many customers demanded stock investing, and Groww expanded to offer stock trading in June 2020. Continuing its mission of accessibility, Groww introduced no account opening and no annual maintenance charge to make stock investing convenient and cost-effective. Built on user feedback, its features focus on simplicity, transparency, and user delight.
By October 2023, Groww’s broking arm became No. 1 in active investors. The company currently serves over 14 million active customers (Source: Groww DRHP).
Groww is backed by Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO), ICONIQ Capital, GIC, and Peak XV Partners, among others. The company has been profitable since 2023, posting INR 4,056 crore revenue and INR 1,819 crore PAT for FY’25.
Groww is India’s largest mutual fund distributor and stock broker, holding a 27% market share in NSE active clients. Its users come from 98% of Indian pin codes, reflecting its truly democratic reach.
