About Groww

Groww was founded in 2016 by Lalit Keshre, Harsh Jain, Neeraj Singh, and Ishan Bansal. The founders noticed that despite rising disposable incomes in India, retail participation in financial markets remained exceptionally low due to complexity and lack of transparency. They launched Groww as a direct mutual fund investment platform.

Groww expanded into stock broking in 2020 and subsequently added US stocks, digital gold, fixed deposits, and lending (Groww Credit). In 2023, it surpassed Zerodha to become India's largest stockbroker by active client base, driven heavily by adoption among millennials and users in non-metro cities.
