News All Stories Groww in talks to raise $200 Mn in pre-IPO round: Report Groww was last valued at approximately $3 billion after securing $251 million in its Series E round in October 2021 and has not raised any new funding since. Shashank Pathak 26 Mar 2025 09:54 IST Follow Us New Update Stock broking company Groww is in discussions to raise $200 million ahead of its initial public offering, which is likely to hit the stock exchange by the end of the year or early next year. The Economic Times, which first reported the development first, said that Groww has held discussions with Singaporeโ€™s sovereign wealth fund GIC, as well as existing investor Tiger Global, for the fundraise. The deal could value the Bengaluru-based startup at around $6.5 billion. Groww has raised close to $400 million so far from prominent investors, including Peak XV, Tiger Global, Ribbit Capital, and YC Continuity. The company was last valued at approximately $3 billion after securing $251 million in its Series E round in October 2021 and has not raised any new funding since. Earlier this year, media reports suggested that Groww is targeting to raise around $1 billion in the IPO, with a valuation goal between $6 billion and $8 billion. Groww is the leading stockbroking company in India, with more than 13 million monthly active users as of February. Growwโ€™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.

Digital investment platform Groww has filed a revised draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as it gears up for a Rs 7,000 crore initial public offering (IPO). The public issue will include a fresh issue of Rs 1,020 crore alongside a large offer for sale (OFS) by existing investors and co-founders. As per the estimates, the OFS will see secondary share sales worth about Rs 5,000 crore. Peak XV will divest 15.8 crore shares, while YC Holding and Ribbit Capital will offload 10.5 crore and 11.8 crore shares, respectively. Tiger Global, Kauffman Fund, and co-founders Lalit Keshre, Harsh Jain, and Neeraj Singh will also participate in the sell-down. This development comes weeks after the Bengaluru-based firm secured SEBIโ€™s nod for its confidential filing. The IPO will be managed by Kotak, JP Morgan, Citi, Axis Capital, and Motilal Oswal, with MUFG Intime as registrar. Groww plans to deploy the fresh issue proceeds towards strengthening its cloud infrastructure, brand building, investments in subsidiaries, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. According to the draft red herring prospectus, Peak XV remains Growwโ€™s largest external stakeholder with a 21.73% stake, followed by YC Holding (12.05%). Ribbit Capital and Tiger Global also hold meaningful ownership, while co-founders Keshre, Jain, and Singh own 9.13%, 6.72%, and 6.26%, respectively.

The company also turned profitable, reporting Rs 1,824 crore versus a loss of Rs 805 crore in FY24. In Q1 FY26, Groww clocked Rs 904 crore in revenue with a profit of Rs 378 crore.

Bengaluru-based fintech unicorn Groww continues to dominate the Indian stockbroking space, expanding its lead over competitors by achieving a milestone of 12.88 million active clients in November 2024. This translates to a commanding 26.35% market share, according to the latest data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Groww added 2,82,577 new users in November alone. The Lalit Keshre-led company surpassed Zerodha in October last year and has maintained its leading position ever since. Zerodha retained its second position with 8.12 million active users, accounting for 16.62% of the market share. Angel One, ranked third, has 7.63 million active clients and a 15.61% market share, closely following Zerodha. Angel One's consistent growth suggests it could potentially challenge Zerodhaโ€™s position in the near future. Upstox, the fourth-largest broker, had 2.87 million active users in November with 5.88% of the market. ICICI Direct secured the fifth spot with 1.94 million users and a 3.97% market share.

Mirae Asset, 5paisa, and IIFL Securities are also among the top 15. Notable players such as PhonePeโ€™s Share.Market and FYERS, are contributing to the vibrant competition in the space. The combined market share of the top three brokersโ€”Groww, Zerodha, and Angel Oneโ€”stands at over 58.58%. Traditional players like ICICI Direct, Kotak Securities, and HDFC Securities continue to hold ground against discount brokers.
