[Cite this finding](#cite-this)

On 2026-05-29, Zerodha became the most-cited investing apps brand across the combined CITE Index — surpassing Groww for the first time since tracking began.

The new reading: **Zerodha 93.3%** combined share of voice, versus **Groww 89.8%** (down 0.2 points day-over-day).

### Engine breakdown

* **ChatGPT:** Zerodha (96.0% SoV)
* **Gemini:** Zerodha (92.0% SoV)
* **Google AI Mode:** Zerodha (92.0% SoV)

### Why this matters

Leadership changes on AI search are not driven by retail share or paid media — they are driven by **citation pool quality**. The brand whose sources the AI engines read most heavily wins, regardless of who sells more units. Zerodha's rise above Groww marks a structural shift in which third-party reviewers, ranking sites, and forums the AI surfaces are reading.

For brand teams in investing apps: this is a citation-pool problem, not a brand-awareness problem.
