Groww widens lead over Zerodha in Oct despite market slowdown Amid a slowdown in Indiaโ€™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. Growwโ€™s continued growth indicates steady user additions despite the broader industry slowdown.

Mobikwik secures SEBI nod to launch stockbroking operations Fintech firm Mobikwik has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to operate as a stockbroker and clearing member through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mobikwik Securities Broking Private Limited (MSBPL). The regulatory clearance, granted under SEBIโ€™s Stock Broker Regulations, 1992, allows the company to buy, sell, and deal in securities on behalf of clients, as well as carry out clearing and settlement of trades. MSBPL may also undertake other exchange-approved activities. Mobikwik had incorporated MSBPL in March 2025, marking its formal entry into the capital markets ecosystem. With this move, the company joins the crowded stock broking space dominated by platforms such as Groww, Zerodha, AngelOne, Upstox, and ICICI Direct. Groww currently leads the sector in terms of active user base, followed by Zerodha and AngelOne. The development signals Mobikwikโ€™s continued push to diversify beyond payments into broader financial services. Soon after launching MSBPL, the company set up a wholly owned NBFC subsidiary, while another subsidiary, Zaakpay, received RBI approval to operate as a payment aggregator.
