What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode said about investing apps brands in India on 23 June 2026

Zerodha overtook Groww as the aggregate leader because Gemini and AI Mode both rank Zerodha first, while Groww still leads on ChatGPT at 95.3% citation share.

By Cite Solutions ResearchPublished 23 June 2026Permanent recordCC BY 4.0

Zerodha overtook Groww as the aggregate leader because Gemini and AI Mode both rank Zerodha first, while Groww still leads on ChatGPT at 95.3% citation share. Zerodha moved to 88.4% overall (up 0.6 percentage points) and rank 1, displacing Groww (88.3%, down 1.1 percentage points) as the previous edition's leader, but the lead change is an engine-split story: Groww still leads on ChatGPT at 95.3% versus Zerodha's 90.7%, while Zerodha leads on Gemini (88.4% vs 83.7%) and Google AI Mode (86% each but Zerodha ranked first). Paytm Money was the biggest mover, gaining 6.5 percentage points to 15.5% and rising to rank 8, with the gain heavily concentrated in AI Mode (25.6%) versus ChatGPT (9.3%) and Gemini (11.6%). New broker comparison and analysis sources entered the pool today including comparebroker.info, brokerage-free.in, stockbrokers.com, and chartink.com, which plausibly surface Paytm Money in multi-platform comparison queries that AI Mode draws from that class of source.

Editor's note

23 June 2026 · 21:00 IST

Cite Solutions Research

Zerodha overtook Groww as the aggregate leader because Gemini and AI Mode both rank Zerodha first, while Groww still leads on ChatGPT at 95.3% citation share.

The move

Zerodha moved to 88.4% overall (up 0.6 percentage points) and rank 1, displacing Groww (88.3%, down 1.1 percentage points) as the previous edition's leader, but the lead change is an engine-split story: Groww still leads on ChatGPT at 95.3% versus Zerodha's 90.7%, while Zerodha leads on Gemini (88.4% vs 83.7%) and Google AI Mode (86% each but Zerodha ranked first).

Paytm Money was the biggest mover, gaining 6.5 percentage points to 15.5% and rising to rank 8, with the gain heavily concentrated in AI Mode (25.6%) versus ChatGPT (9.3%) and Gemini (11.6%).

New broker comparison and analysis sources entered the pool today including comparebroker.info, brokerage-free.in, stockbrokers.com, and chartink.com, which plausibly surface Paytm Money in multi-platform comparison queries that AI Mode draws from that class of source.

What it means

The Zerodha versus Groww lead is not a brand story but an engine-split story: the answer to which investing app AI recommends depends entirely on which engine the end user is on, and operators monitoring only aggregate citation share are averaging across meaningfully different recommendation behaviors.

Paytm Money's AI Mode spike (25.6%) while ChatGPT remains below 10% is a pattern also visible for 5paisa this edition (27.9% AI Mode vs 4.7% ChatGPT), suggesting AI Mode draws on a source set that is more inclusive of secondary and legacy fintech brands than ChatGPT or Gemini, likely from broker-comparison and fintech-review publishers.

The entry of broker comparison sites into the citation pool is the structural lever: brands not well-covered on platforms like comparebroker.info and brokerage-free.in will systematically underperform on engines that draw from that class of source.

For any investing app brand below rank 5, the immediate action is comprehensive coverage on broker-review and comparison aggregator publishers that now populate AI Mode's citation pool, since that is the highest-leverage channel available given the near-lock of Zerodha and Groww on the other two engines.
