Zerodha

Groww

Market Share & User Growth

Established in 2010, Zerodha boasts the largest active client base (22.4 million) and market share (18.8%) in India's broking industry. However, its user growth slowed down in 2023, with a 3% decline in active clients.

Founded in 2016, Groww has witnessed explosive growth, adding 1.2 million users in FY23. Its market share stands at 12.5%, but it still trails Zerodha significantly in client base.

Revenue & Profitability

Revenue in FY23 grew 35.5% to Rs. 6,875 crore, with net profit surging 39% to Rs. 2,900 crore. Despite strong financial performance, its profit margin dipped slightly compared to previous years.

Revenue in FY23 reached Rs. 2,700 crore, growing at a healthy pace. However, it remains unprofitable, burning cash to fuel its user acquisition strategy.

Technology and User Interface

Zerodha is known for its robust trading platform Kite and its focus on innovation. It offers advanced trading tools, analytics, and educational resources.

Groww's user interface is simple and intuitive, catering to new investors. Its focus on mobile-first experience and user-friendly features makes it appealing to tech-savvy millennials.
