About Groww
Groww began as a mutual fund platform in 2016 and has since evolved into a comprehensive investment super-app serving over 10 crore registered users. Backed by Tiger Global, Sequoia, and other marquee investors, Groww has achieved unicorn status and is reportedly planning an IPO.

IPOGenie's Groww Review
Groww's design-forward approach makes it the best choice for first-time investors who value simplicity and an integrated investment experience. However, investors who trade delivery equity actively should note that Groww charges ₹20 per delivery trade — unlike Zerodha and Upstox which are free. For pure mutual fund investors, Groww is excellent. For active stock traders, Zerodha edges it out. Rating: 4.3/5 — Recommended for beginners and MF investors.
