Lalit Keshre of Groww on becoming a unicorn

• As a stock and mutual funds platform, Groww was initiated to provide clarity on how simple investing can be in India. Ever since it was founded in 2017, Groww aims to offer new ways for stockbroking, equity-linked savings, SIPs, IPOs, ETFs and direct mutual funds. With an interface to encourage paperless and accessible investing, Groww also enables users to invest in gold. The founders of Groww were former employees of Flipkart and left their jobs to create this mutual fund investment platform, initially through a WhatsApp group and then expanded to become a stockbroking interface as well. Currently a unicorn, Groww is valued at around $1 billion after an $83 million Series D funding led by renowned investing firm Tiger Global Management.
