In April last year, Groww
raised $83 million in a Series D funding round led by Tiger Global, making its way into the coveted unicorn club. Within the next six months, the investment platform
raised another $251 million in a new round of funding, tripling its valuation to $3 billion, or about Rs 22,500 crore.
Founded in 2016 by former Flipkart executives Keshre, Harsh Jain, Neeraj Singh and Ishan Bansal, Groww enables retail investors to access financial products and services through the web and mobile.
