Making financial services simple, transparent and delightful
We built Groww to simplify investing in stocks and mutual funds in India. Our platform lets users browse investments, buy and manage stock portfolios and mutual fund SIPs with transparency and ease. We focus on removing friction and complexity from financial services for everyday retail investors.
We live and operate in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and plan to keep Groww based here after YC. This location has access to India's growing tech talent and user base.
Bengaluru combines strong engineering talent and proximity to India's financial markets and customers, making it the right place to build a fintech startup serving Indian investors.
