Groww CEO Lalit Keshre praised Indian equity investors for their growing maturity and long-term wealth creation mindset. Speaking at the Moneycontrol Startup Conclave, Keshre explained how domestic investors now navigate market cycles effectively.
Indian Investors Show Strong Market Resilience
Indian retail investors now understand the process of long-term wealth creation much better than before. Consequently, systematic investment plan (SIP) inflows remain high despite flat equity returns over the past two years.
In fact, investors weathered severe global shocks without panic over the last six years. Furthermore, markets recovered quickly after the initial COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns triggered sharp declines.
Subsequent disruptions caused fresh market turbulence in recent years. For instance, the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 created notable volatility. Additionally, markets faced geopolitical friction and US tariff policies recently. However, Indian investors continued their regular equity contributions through these unpredictable economic phases.
| Event / Period | Market Impact | Investor Behavior |
| COVID-19 Outbreak | Severe Nosedive | Rapid Adaptation & Buying |
| 2022 Conflicts | Steep Decline | Continuous SIP Inflows |
| 2024–2026 Phase | Flat Returns | Long-Term Wealth Focus |
Groww Expands Wealth Management Offerings
Therefore, financial platforms see consistent user engagement despite tepid market sentiment across sectors. Groww CEO Lalit Keshre emphasized that short-term fluctuations do not disrupt long-term economic growth.
Meanwhile, Groww consolidated its market position as the largest broker in India by active users. Specifically, the fintech firm reported ₹4,600 crore in revenue during FY26. Moreover, revenue grew by 50 percent over the last two years.
To sustain this growth, the platform added several new financial products for diverse investor segments:
- Commodity Trading & US Equities: Expands international and asset-class access.
- Fixed Income Options: Introduces corporate bonds and regular mutual funds.
- Wealth Advisory (W by Groww): Targets high-net-worth clients with over ₹50 lakh in investable surplus.
