Key Observations
💡 Groww commands over a quarter of India’s market share in retail broking within just five years of starting operations, an extraordinary feat in the sector.
📈 Its revenue growth of 125% CAGR over three years outpaces all peers, showcasing the power of digital adoption and younger investor participation.
💰 Zerodha continues to lead in profitability with a 49.4% margin, while Groww closely follows at 44.9%, reflecting strong cost efficiency despite higher marketing spends.
⚙️ Legacy brokers like Motilal Oswal and Angel One, though profitable, have slower client acquisition compared to new-age platforms.
For investors tracking the upcoming IPO, Groww’s valuation premium over older peers seems justified by its scale, speed of execution, and sustained growth in client addition.
