Why are Groww shares down today?

CNBC-TV18 had earlier reported that several early investors in Groww, including Peak XV and Y Combinator, are preparing to offload stakes through block deals after the lock-in expiry period.

The base issue size was estimated at around 4,750 crore, accounting for roughly 4.3% of the company’s total equity, with scope for an increase depending on investor appetite, as per the report.

The report revealed that existing shareholders, such as Peak XV Partners Investments VI-1, Sequoia Capital Global Growth Fund III—U.S./India Annex Fund, YC Holdings II LLC (Y Combinator), and Ribbit Capital-linked entities are expected to participate as sellers in the deal.

Additionally, the transaction reportedly includes a 90-day lock-up clause, preventing participating investors from carrying out any further stake sales during that timeframe.

Today is the expiry of the stock’s six-month shareholder lock-in period, making nearly 400 crore shares — about 65% of pre-IPO shareholder holdings — eligible for trading.

However, the end of the lock-in period does not automatically imply that all unlocked shares will be sold right away. It only allows eligible shareholders the freedom to trade their holdings.
