ChatGPT and Gemini both ranked Zerodha first at 90%, while Google AI Mode ranked Groww first at 92%, making the two-engine-versus-one split between the top two brands the defining structural fact of the edition. Groww was the biggest single-edition mover in magnitude, losing 5.3 percentage points and dropping one rank. Dhan gained 4 percentage points to 44.7% at rank five, the largest upward move of any brand in the vertical. Fifty-eight new domains entered the citation pool, including broker status pages (status.zerodha.com, status.groww.in), algo trading communities, and NBFC-adjacent sources.

Zerodha reclaims the lead from Groww with 89.3% citation share as Groww slides 5.3 percentage points to 86%, though Google AI Mode still ranks Groww first at 92%.

The move

Zerodha leads Investing Apps with 89.3% citation share this edition, gaining one rank position as Groww fell 5.3 percentage points from the previous edition's 91.3% to 86%.

ChatGPT and Gemini both ranked Zerodha first at 90%, while Google AI Mode ranked Groww first at 92%, making the two-engine-versus-one split between the top two brands the defining structural fact of the edition.

Groww was the biggest single-edition mover in magnitude, losing 5.3 percentage points and dropping one rank.

Dhan gained 4 percentage points to 44.7% at rank five, the largest upward move of any brand in the vertical.

Fifty-eight new domains entered the citation pool, including broker status pages status.zerodha.comstatus.groww.in, algo trading communities, and NBFC-adjacent sources.

What it means

Zerodha at 89.3% sits at the upper edge of the competitive concentration band, approaching the threshold above which leadership becomes structurally stable, but the Google AI Mode divergence means buyers should not treat this as a consensus lock until AI Mode alignment is confirmed across multiple editions.

The entry of broker status and downtime detection pages as new sources is a noteworthy signal: it suggests AI systems are beginning to incorporate service reliability queries alongside product comparison, which could introduce sentiment-differentiated citation patterns that current aggregate share figures do not yet capture.

Groww's 5.3 percentage point decline is the largest single-edition downward move among high-share brands in this edition, but with 86% citation share and AI Mode dominance the move looks more like rotational volatility between near-equally cited brands than a structural retreat, particularly since Groww's previous-edition share of 91.3% was itself a gain from prior periods.

The strength of Dhan at 44.7% and INDmoney at 31.3% shows this vertical has a genuine mid-tier rather than a simple long tail, giving buyers of those brands a credible citation surface that is worth investing in independently of the Zerodha-Groww contest at the top.

For an operator in investing apps, the Google AI Mode preference for Groww is the most immediately actionable signal: building citation presence in the source domains that AI Mode draws from disproportionately is the highest-leverage path to closing the gap with Zerodha on that engine.
