What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode said about investing apps brands in India on 25 June 2026

Google AI Mode returned zero citations for every investing-apps brand this edition, cutting blended citation shares by up to 31 percentage points; Groww and Zerodha remain above 85% each on ChatGPT and Gemini. Groww fell 31.2 percentage points to 60.1% and Zerodha fell 31.2 percentage points to 58.5%, but the mechanism is not brand behavior: Google AI Mode registered 0% citation share for every brand in the vertical, including Angel One, Upstox, Dhan, INDmoney, ET Money, and Paytm Money. ChatGPT and Gemini held steady, with Groww at 90.2% on each, Zerodha at 90.2% on ChatGPT and 85.4% on Gemini, indicating no underlying change in those engine citation patterns. The engineWinners field lists Groww as AI Mode winner at 0%, confirming that AI Mode returned no citations for this vertical's query set in this edition, not that Groww underperformed. The 40-plus new source domains entering today include institutional finance sites (icicibank.com, kotaksecurities.com, cafemutual.com) and broker-comparison platforms, consistent with an expanded prompt universe but not explanatory of the AI Mode gap.

Editor's note

25 June 2026 · 21:00 IST

Cite Solutions Research

Google AI Mode returned zero citations for every investing-apps brand this edition, cutting blended citation shares by up to 31 percentage points; Groww and Zerodha remain above 85% each on ChatGPT and Gemini.

The move

Groww fell 31.2 percentage points to 60.1% and Zerodha fell 31.2 percentage points to 58.5%, but the mechanism is not brand behavior: Google AI Mode registered 0% citation share for every brand in the vertical, including Angel One, Upstox, Dhan, INDmoney, ET Money, and Paytm Money.

ChatGPT and Gemini held steady, with Groww at 90.2% on each, Zerodha at 90.2% on ChatGPT and 85.4% on Gemini, indicating no underlying change in those engine citation patterns.

The engineWinners field lists Groww as AI Mode winner at 0%, confirming that AI Mode returned no citations for this vertical's query set in this edition, not that Groww underperformed.

The 40-plus new source domains entering today include institutional finance sites icicibank.comkotaksecurities.comcafemutual.com and broker-comparison platforms, consistent with an expanded prompt universe but not explanatory of the AI Mode gap.

What it means

The entire apparent decline in this vertical is an AI Mode citation data gap and should not be read as a brand-level shift; this edition's numbers should be evaluated using ChatGPT and Gemini figures only.

The structural picture on those two engines shows Groww and Zerodha as near co-leaders at 90.2% each on ChatGPT, with the sub-leader tier of Angel One, Upstox, and Dhan competing in the 40-65% range.

If AI Mode data resumes in the next edition and shows a change from prior AI Mode levels, that would be a genuine structural signal; today's zeros are most plausibly a collection or surface availability artifact.

Operators should use this edition's ChatGPT and Gemini numbers as the operative performance signal and treat blended figures as unreliable for this date.

The new broker-comparison and institutional source domains entering the pool are worth tracking as a prompt-universe expansion story independent of the AI Mode gap.
