Zerodha took rank 1 at 85.5% by leading both ChatGPT (89.1%) and Gemini (80.4%), while Groww holds AI Mode rank 1 at 89.1%; both brands are tied at 85.5% citation share overall. Zerodha moved from rank 2 to rank 1, matching Groww at 85.5% citation share; the rank difference reflects a 3.2 percentage point gain for Zerodha versus a 1.6 percentage point decline for Groww from 87.1% in the previous edition. The mechanism is engine-level: Zerodha leads on ChatGPT (89.1%, rank 1) and Gemini (80.4%, rank 1), while Groww leads on AI Mode (89.1%, rank 1) with Zerodha at rank 2 (87%). Upstox was the biggest upward mover, gaining 6.3 percentage points to 58.7%, with the gain primarily on ChatGPT where it reached 76.1% at rank 3. Dhan was the biggest downward mover, losing 8.3 percentage points to 31.2% across all three engines with no dominant single-engine cause and no clear source-pool explanation for the decline.

Cite Solutions Research

Zerodha took rank 1 at 85.5% by leading both ChatGPT (89.1%) and Gemini (80.4%), while Groww holds AI Mode rank 1 at 89.1%; both brands are tied at 85.5% citation share overall.

The move

Zerodha moved from rank 2 to rank 1, matching Groww at 85.5% citation share; the rank difference reflects a 3.2 percentage point gain for Zerodha versus a 1.6 percentage point decline for Groww from 87.1% in the previous edition.

The mechanism is engine-level: Zerodha leads on ChatGPT (89.1%, rank 1) and Gemini (80.4%, rank 1), while Groww leads on AI Mode (89.1%, rank 1) with Zerodha at rank 2 (87%).

Upstox was the biggest upward mover, gaining 6.3 percentage points to 58.7%, with the gain primarily on ChatGPT where it reached 76.1% at rank 3.

Dhan was the biggest downward mover, losing 8.3 percentage points to 31.2% across all three engines with no dominant single-engine cause and no clear source-pool explanation for the decline.

What it means

At 85.5%, the leader sits at the boundary of the near-locked zone, but the two-brand tie and the engine split between Zerodha and Groww make this vertical more operationally interesting than a typical locked category.

The Zerodha-Groww engine divergence, where Zerodha wins ChatGPT and Gemini while Groww wins AI Mode, is likely to persist if it reflects underlying content authority differences by engine.

Brands pursuing AI Mode citation prominence should benchmark against Groww's content model specifically; brands targeting ChatGPT and Gemini should benchmark against Zerodha.

Upstox's ChatGPT gain to 76.1% at rank 3 is a material jump worth watching: if it repeats in the next edition, Upstox has found a ChatGPT-specific citation lever.

With 59 new sources entering the pool this edition including in.tradingview.comreddit.com/r/StockMarketIndiaand comparison aggregators, the citation pool expansion favors brands with broad multi-platform coverage rather than niche players whose share will be diluted as more sources compete for attribution.
