Bengaluru-based stock broker Groww has surpassed the 1.25 crore (12.59 million) mark in active traders in October, driven by the addition of around 3.5 lakh users in a single month, according to data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Zerodha, Groww’s closest competitor, had approximately 80.6 lakh (8.06 million) active investors as of last month. 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). Dhan, launched by former Paytm Money executive Pravin Jadhav, had 8.49 lakh (0.84 million) users as of October. Dhan entered the top 10 list of stockbroking apps in India in August this year, replacing Paytm Money. INDmoney and PhonePe's Share.Market are the new entrants in the top 20 list with 6.7 lakh (0.67 million) and 2.69 lakh (0.26 million) respectively. 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.
