Cite Solutions Research

Groww reclaimed the Investing Apps lead from Zerodha, reaching 89.4% citation share versus Zerodha's 87.9%, while 5paisa was the biggest mover with a 6.7 percentage point gain.

The move

Groww rose from rank 2 to rank 1 with 89.4% citation share, gaining 3.4 percentage points from the previous edition, while Zerodha, the previous leader at 87.3%, held rank 2 at 87.9%.

The engines split on the leader: ChatGPT ranked Zerodha first at 93.6%, while Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranked Groww first at 93.6% and 83% respectively. 5paisa was the biggest single-edition mover, gaining 6.7 percentage points to 12% citation share.

New domains entering the citation pool include coin.zerodha.com, reddit.com/r/IndiaInvestments, and sensibull.com.

What it means

Both Groww and Zerodha are operating in near-lock territory above 87%, which means the practical category structure is two co-dominant incumbents rather than a decisive leader.

The 1.5 percentage point gap between them will very likely narrow or reverse in the next edition without any underlying change in either brand's positioning.

ChatGPT's distinct preference for Zerodha (93.6%) versus the two Google-derived engines' preference for Groww reflects a real difference in the depth of educational and research content indexed by each platform, with Zerodha's long-form material historically stronger in text-based retrieval contexts.

The 5paisa gain of 6.7 percentage points is notable but originates from a low base and must be confirmed over multiple editions before it indicates structural audience development.

The arrival of hdfcsec.com, fyers.in, and interactivebrokers.co.in in the citation pool suggests the category's scope is widening to include premium and institutional-adjacent platforms, which may gradually benefit brands with strong advisory positioning and disadvantage those whose presence is concentrated in retail-investor comparison content.
