Editor's note

Cite Solutions Research

Zerodha held first in investing apps at 84.4%, just 0.7 percentage points ahead of Groww, with Google AI Mode dissenting in Groww's favor.

The move

Zerodha remained the leader at 84.4% citation share, down 3.3 percentage points, with Groww close behind at 83.7%.

The engines split two to one: ChatGPT cited Zerodha most at 91.8% and Gemini at 87.8%, while Google AI Mode ranked Groww first at 81.6%.

Angel One was the biggest riser, up 4.4 percentage points to 55.8%. No new citation-pool domains explain the movement.

What it means

This is a competitive two-horse race, with Zerodha and Groww separated by under one percentage point and AI Mode already siding with Groww.

The lead is structurally fragile: Zerodha holds it on the strength of ChatGPT and Gemini, so a shift on either engine would flip the overall ranking.

For an operator the lever is clear, since AI Mode is where Groww is winning and where Zerodha is exposed, so engine-specific citation work on AI Mode decides this category.

Angel One's rise is worth tracking but it remains 28 percentage points back.
