Zerodha takes the index lead from Groww — the first leadership change of the arc, at 89.3% vs 87.3%. After yesterday's flagged Zerodha gain on ChatGPT closing the gap to 1.3 pts, the flip arrived today: Zerodha climbs to 89.3% SoV (+1.3 pts) while Groww gives back 2.0 pts to 87.3%, surrendering the rank-1 slot it has held since day one. Zerodha now wins Gemini (88% vs Groww's 84%) and AI Mode (90% vs 86%); only ChatGPT still favors Groww at 92%. The citation pool tells the same story — zerodha.com grew 46→52 cites on ChatGPT and a single comparison piece on vitthub.com jumped 8→17 cites, the largest single-source move on the board. Upstox is the day's other story, recovering +6.0 pts to 58% and reclaiming rank 3 from Angel One (-4.6 pts to 50.7%), unwinding yesterday's outage-cycle reshuffle.

Zerodha takes the index lead from Groww — the first leadership change of the arc, at 89.3% vs 87.3%.
The move
After yesterday's flagged Zerodha gain on ChatGPT closing the gap to 1.3 pts, the flip arrived today: Zerodha climbs to 89.3% SoV (+1.3 pts) while Groww gives back 2.0 pts to 87.3%, surrendering the rank-1 slot it has held since day one.
Zerodha now wins Gemini (88% vs Groww's 84%) and AI Mode (90% vs 86%); only ChatGPT still favors Groww at 92%.
The citation pool tells the same story — zerodha.com grew 46→52 cites on ChatGPT and a single comparison piece on vitthub.com jumped 8→17 cites, the largest single-source move on the board.
Upstox is the day's other story, recovering +6.0 pts to 58% and reclaiming rank 3 from Angel One (-4.6 pts to 50.7%), unwinding yesterday's outage-cycle reshuffle.
What it means
Two days ago the Groww-Zerodha lead looked like a stable duopoly with Groww edging ahead on category-page strength.
The flip shows how thin that lead actually was: Groww's ChatGPT advantage was built on brand-owned cites groww.in, while Zerodha's gain is broader-based — comparison content vitthub.comequitylogy.in, regulatory pages sebi.gov.ininvestor.sebi.gov.in, and a Groww outage piece on zeebiz.com that the engines now read as a Zerodha point.
The category lesson: on Investing Apps, an editorial week swings 2 points of SoV, and the brand that wins comparison-page real estate wins the index.
For AEO teams at Groww, the priority is now defensive — get back into the third-party comparison pool that Zerodha just colonized, not deepen first-party content that's already saturated.
