Groww had raised $251 million (£184.76m) in October last year in a funding round led by Iconiq Growth, which valued the mutual fund and stock investment platform at $1 billion (£740m).

The funding round also saw participation from investors like Alkeon, Lone Pine Capital and Steadfast.

In April 2021, the digital firm had raised $83m (£61m) in a funding round led by Tiger Global.

Groww enables users to invest in stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, IPOs and Gold.
