Stock broking platform Groww has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) through the confidential route, according to public notices published in newspapers on May 25. The pre-filing mechanism, introduced by SEBI in 2022, allows companies to privately submit their DRHPs. The document remains confidential until the firm decides to go public, giving companies greater flexibility in IPO planning. Groww is currently the largest stockbroking platform in India, with over 13 million active users monthly, according to NSE data. It commanded a 26.57% market share in February 2024, ahead of rivals Zerodha (16.25%) and Angel One (15.62%). Backed by Peak XV Partners, Tiger Global, Ribbit Capital, and Y Combinator’s Continuity Fund, Groww has raised around $400 million to date. Its last round was a $251 million Series E in October 2021, which pegged its valuation at $3 billion. The company is now looking to raise $200 million in a pre-IPO round, targeting a valuation in the $6.5–7 billion range. As part of this, Viggo Investments Pte Ltd has sought clearance from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to acquire a 2.143% stake in Groww. On the financial front, Groww’s revenue from operations surged to Rs 3,145 crore in FY24, though the firm reported a net loss of Rs 805 crore, driven by a one-time tax expense of Rs 1,340 crore related to its redomicile to India. Several Indian startups have recently opted for the confidential filing route introduced by SEBI in 2022 to prepare for their public listings. This includes car marketplace CarTrade, logistics company Delhivery, Shiprocket, and consumer electronics brand boAt.
