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.
