What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode said about investing apps brands in India on 18 June 2026

Groww overtook Zerodha for the overall lead by winning on both ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, while Angel One surged 12.6 percentage points across all three engines in a move that looks structural rather than noise-driven.

Groww overtook Zerodha for the overall lead by winning on both ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, while Angel One surged 12.6 percentage points across all three engines in a move that looks structural rather than noise-driven. Groww reached 89.4% citation share (+3.4 percentage points) and rose from rank 2 to rank 1, leading on ChatGPT (90.9%) and Google AI Mode (93.2%); the previous edition's leader, Zerodha, grew to 88.6% (+2.6 percentage points) but leads only on Gemini (90.9%). The leadership flip is engine-driven: Groww's two-engine dominance is the deciding factor. Angel One was the biggest mover, gaining 12.6 percentage points to reach 62.1% citation share, with the gain broadly distributed across ChatGPT (68.2%), Gemini (63.6%), and AI Mode (54.5%); angelone.in appears as a top cited source on ChatGPT with 12 citations, suggesting the brand's own domain is now integrated into ChatGPT's answer set for this category. ET Money was the steepest decliner, falling 9.7 percentage points to 12.9%, with losses distributed across all three engines, and INDmoney also declined 6.2 percentage points.

Cite Solutions Research

Groww overtook Zerodha for the overall lead by winning on both ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, while Angel One surged 12.6 percentage points across all three engines in a move that looks structural rather than noise-driven.

The move

Groww reached 89.4% citation share (+3.4 percentage points) and rose from rank 2 to rank 1, leading on ChatGPT (90.9%) and Google AI Mode (93.2%); the previous edition's leader, Zerodha, grew to 88.6% (+2.6 percentage points) but leads only on Gemini (90.9%).

The leadership flip is engine-driven: Groww's two-engine dominance is the deciding factor.

Angel One was the biggest mover, gaining 12.6 percentage points to reach 62.1% citation share, with the gain broadly distributed across ChatGPT (68.2%), Gemini (63.6%), and AI Mode (54.5%); angelone.in appears as a top cited source on ChatGPT with 12 citations, suggesting the brand's own domain is now integrated into ChatGPT's answer set for this category.

ET Money was the steepest decliner, falling 9.7 percentage points to 12.9%, with losses distributed across all three engines, and INDmoney also declined 6.2 percentage points.

What it means

With Groww and Zerodha within 0.8 percentage points of each other at the top, the rank position may alternate edition to edition based on small query-set fluctuations; what matters operationally is that both brands are near-locked above 88%.

Angel One's broad three-engine gain is the more structurally significant reading: when all three engines move together rather than one flipping, the change is more likely rooted in the underlying citation pool than in engine-specific weighting.

The correlation between angelone.in appearing as a direct ChatGPT source and Angel One's ChatGPT gain (68.2%) is an actionable pattern for any brand in the vertical seeking to improve on that engine specifically; confirming that your own domain is indexed as a source by ChatGPT, and not only cited indirectly through comparison platforms, is the first audit to run.

ET Money's 9.7 percentage point drop has no visible source-pool mechanism and should be monitored over the next two editions before treating it as structural decline.
