Chandigarh: Bengaluru-based investment platform Groww is set to debut on the public markets with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) opening today, marking a major moment for India’s retail investing ecosystem. The IPO, from parent company Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd., will be open for subscription from 4 November to 7 November 2025.
Key Details
-
Price band: ₹95 to ₹100 per share.
-
Issue size: Approximately ₹6,632.3 crore, comprising a fresh issue of around ₹1,060 crore and an Offer-For-Sale (OFS) of approximately ₹5,572.3 crore.
-
Lot size: 150 shares (minimum for retail).
-
Valuation: At the upper end of the band, Groww is being valued at roughly ₹62,500 crore (≈US $7.1 billion) ahead of listing.
Why It Matters
Groww has grown rapidly — by 30 June 2025, it had about 12.6 million active users on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), translating into a ~26.3% share of retail active user base. The company posted a profit of ₹1,824 crore in FY25, bouncing back from a loss in the previous year, and revenue rose ~49% year‐on‐year to ₹3,902 crore.
By going public now, Groww seeks to cement its position in India’s booming digital investment market, expand its product offerings (stocks, mutual funds, derivatives, IPOs) and invest further in technology, marketing, and expansion.
Risks & Analyst Views
Despite strong fundamentals, analysts caution that Groww’s dependence on the futures & options (F&O) segment (which accounted for ~62% of its broking revenue in FY25) may expose it to regulatory risks from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) moves to curb speculative trading.
Valuation multiples are higher than many of its listed peers—Groww’s price‐to‐earnings ratio at the current band is considerably elevated compared to traditional brokerages. Experts recommend a medium to long-term investment view for prospective investors.
What Next?
-
Anchor book: Oversubscribed, with strong interest from domestic mutual funds and global investors.
-
Allotment & Listing: Basis of allotment likely by 10 November 2025, and listing expected around 12 November on both the BSE and NSE.
-
Use of funds: Funds will support cloud infrastructure, brand building, and investment in subsidiaries (margin trading, NBFC) among others.
Bottom Line
Groww’s IPO represents more than a fund-raise—it marks a coming-of-age for retail investment platforms in India. For investors, it opens a chance to participate in the growth of digital wealth creation. But they must weigh the upside with regulatory risks and valuation stretch.
