Groww widens lead over Zerodha in Oct despite market slowdown Amid a slowdown in India’s retail broking industry, wealth-tech platform Groww was the only major player to record growth in October 2025. According to NSE data, Groww added 1.38 lakh active demat accounts during the month, taking its total to 1.2 crore (12 million). Other leading discount brokers saw a decline in active users. Zerodha and Angel One reported drops of 62,000 and 34,000 accounts, respectively, while Upstox lost about 59,000. The total number of active demat accounts across the top 25 brokers slipped 0.13% in October, indicating a phase of consolidation in the retail investing segment. Among traditional players, ICICI Securities and SBI Caps added 13,000 and 25,000 accounts, respectively. Paytm gained around 30,000 new accounts, while most other brokers, including HDFC and Kotak Securities, reported small declines. Digital-first platforms continue to lead the broking market, with Groww, Zerodha, and Angel One together holding over 57% of NSE demat accounts. Groww accounts for about 26.6% of the total, highlighting its growing share among retail investors. Between July and October 2025, the number of active demat accounts across leading brokers fell from 4.72 crore (47.2 million) to 4.52 crore (45.2 million), reflecting the slowdown after the post-pandemic expansion. The rate of decline has eased, pointing to early signs of stabilization in the market. Groww’s continued growth indicates steady user additions despite the broader industry slowdown.

Groww overtook Zerodha in October last year and has held the top position ever since. As per the NSE’s data, Groww has nearly doubled its user base over the past year, whereas Zerodha added just 15 lakh new users. Angel One, the third-largest stockbroker, has 75 lakh (7.53 million) active users and may surpass Zerodha in the coming months. Upstox ranked fourth, had 28.52 lakh (2.85 million) users as of last month. ICICI Direct is the fifth largest player in this space with 19.3 lakh active users (1.93 million).

In terms of scale, Zerodha had the highest revenue in FY24 at Rs 8,370 crore, followed by Angel One, which reported Rs 4,272 crore in revenue for the last fiscal year. Nithin Kamath’s Zerodha reported a profit of Rs 2,907 crore, while Angel One’s profits exceeded Rs 1,125 crore in FY24. Groww’s revenue from operations surged to Rs 3,145 crore in FY24. The Lalit Keshre-led company recorded a net loss of Rs 805 crore in FY24, primarily due to a one-time tax payment of Rs 1,340 crore for relocating its domicile to India. Despite this, the firm remained operationally profitable. Upstox, which posted over Rs 1,000 crore in revenue in FY23, has yet to file its annual report for FY24.
