What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode said about investing apps brands in India on 24 June 2026

Groww took the citation lead from Zerodha as ChatGPT and AI Mode both ranked it first while Gemini still favored Zerodha, creating a clean two-engines-versus-one split. Groww finished at 91.3% citation share, up 3 percentage points, taking rank 1 from Zerodha which gained 1.3 percentage points to 89.7% but fell to rank 2. The mechanism is a clear engine-line divide: ChatGPT ranks Groww first at 92.9% and AI Mode ranks Groww first at 92.9%, while Gemini ranks Zerodha first at 92.9%. Angel One gained 6 percentage points to 59.5% and moved to rank 3, with consistent growth across ChatGPT (61.9%), Gemini (54.8%), and AI Mode (61.9%). 5paisa is the biggest mover on the downside, falling 6.1 percentage points to 6.3% and disappearing entirely from ChatGPT citations (0%), while retaining small shares on Gemini (7.1%) and AI Mode (11.9%). Fifty new domains entered the pool, including comparesharebrokers.com, tradebrains.in, indiainfoline.com, and economictimes.indiatimes.com.

Groww took the citation lead from Zerodha as ChatGPT and AI Mode both ranked it first while Gemini still favored Zerodha, creating a clean two-engines-versus-one split.

The move

Groww finished at 91.3% citation share, up 3 percentage points, taking rank 1 from Zerodha which gained 1.3 percentage points to 89.7% but fell to rank 2.

The mechanism is a clear engine-line divide: ChatGPT ranks Groww first at 92.9% and AI Mode ranks Groww first at 92.9%, while Gemini ranks Zerodha first at 92.9%.

Angel One gained 6 percentage points to 59.5% and moved to rank 3, with consistent growth across ChatGPT (61.9%), Gemini (54.8%), and AI Mode (61.9%). 5paisa is the biggest mover on the downside, falling 6.1 percentage points to 6.3% and disappearing entirely from ChatGPT citations (0%), while retaining small shares on Gemini (7.1%) and AI Mode (11.9%).

Fifty new domains entered the pool, including comparesharebrokers.com, tradebrains.in, indiainfoline.com, and economictimes.indiatimes.com.

What it means

At 91.3% Groww is near-locked, but the 1.6 percentage-point margin over Zerodha is narrow enough that a single engine shift could restore Zerodha to the top position, making this a volatile two-brand race rather than a settled lock.

The engine split, Groww leading ChatGPT and AI Mode while Zerodha leads Gemini, is the structural fact an operator in this space needs to act on: these engines are drawing on different segments of the source pool, and the newly entering comparison publishers like comparesharebrokers.com and tradebrains.in will shape which engine benefits next. 5paisa's disappearance from ChatGPT while holding small Gemini and AI Mode shares is a fragmentation warning: when a brand drops to zero on one engine it typically indicates it has exited the relevant source pool for that engine's citation queries rather than experiencing sampling noise.

Angel One's gain across all three engines is the most structurally robust movement in this edition and suggests broad publisher coverage rather than a single-engine or single-source artifact.
