Zerodha reclaimed the top position from Groww after Groww's Gemini citation share declined to 79.2%, while Dhan surged 6.2 percentage points driven by AI Mode reaching 45.8% versus ChatGPT at 29.2%. Zerodha moved to rank 1 at 85.4%, holding ChatGPT at 89.6% and Gemini at 83.3%, after Groww, the previous edition's leader at 88.9%, fell to 84.7% at rank 2. Groww's Gemini share declined to 79.2% while its AI Mode share at 87.5% still beats Zerodha's 83.3%, making AI Mode the one engine where Groww retains top billing. The leadership flip is therefore a Gemini-driven event. Dhan is the biggest positive mover, gaining 6.2 percentage points to 36.8%, with the movement concentrated in AI Mode (45.8%) versus ChatGPT (29.2%) and Gemini (35.4%); dhan.co is a top-5 citation source at 18 mentions, primarily through AI Mode, suggesting a direct source-presence correlation. Fifty-three new citation-pool domains entered this edition, including comparesharebrokers.com and brokerage-free.in.

    INDmoney led the Investing Apps movers at -5.6%, with Gemini and AI Mode retreating while ChatGPT held, a split-engine decline with no clear source-pool explanation.

  2. 19 Jun

    Angel One lost 11.8 percentage points across all three engines to fall to 50.3% and drop a rank, while INDmoney gained 8.4 percentage points on a ChatGPT-specific surge, as comparison broker directories entered the citation pool.

  3. 18 Jun

    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.

Cite Solutions Research

Zerodha reclaimed the top position from Groww after Groww's Gemini citation share declined to 79.2%, while Dhan surged 6.2 percentage points driven by AI Mode reaching 45.8% versus ChatGPT at 29.2%.

The move

Zerodha moved to rank 1 at 85.4%, holding ChatGPT at 89.6% and Gemini at 83.3%, after Groww, the previous edition's leader at 88.9%, fell to 84.7% at rank 2.

Groww's Gemini share declined to 79.2% while its AI Mode share at 87.5% still beats Zerodha's 83.3%, making AI Mode the one engine where Groww retains top billing.

The leadership flip is therefore a Gemini-driven event.

Dhan is the biggest positive mover, gaining 6.2 percentage points to 36.8%, with the movement concentrated in AI Mode (45.8%) versus ChatGPT (29.2%) and Gemini (35.4%); dhan.co is a top-5 citation source at 18 mentions, primarily through AI Mode, suggesting a direct source-presence correlation.

Fifty-three new citation-pool domains entered this edition, including comparesharebrokers.com and brokerage-free.in.

What it means

The Zerodha versus Groww switch is a Gemini-led event rather than a broad-engine reranking; AI Mode still ranks Groww first.

With both brands above 84%, the top of this vertical qualifies as near-locked, and the 0.7 percentage point overall gap between the two is within normal edition-to-edition variance.

Dhan's AI Mode strength, a 16.6 percentage point spread between AI Mode (45.8%) and ChatGPT (29.2%), is a structural signal worth tracking over the next several editions.

AI Mode appears to be drawing from a distinct source corpus for this vertical, likely broker-comparison publishers and algo-trading communities, and broker-comparison sites comparesharebrokers.combrokerage-free.in entered the citation pool this edition.

For operators in this vertical outside the top two positions, the highest-leverage play is systematic listing on broker-comparison publishers that are entering AI Mode's corpus, as that class of source is currently the most visible lever for Dhan's share gains.
