Competition doesn’t limit growth in India: Groww’s Lalit Keshre on building a full-stack wealth platform

Lalit Keshre cofounded Groww in 2016; a decade later, the Bengaluru-based fintech firm has 21 million users, a market cap that has surged to Rs 1.27 lakh crore from Rs 79,000 crore when it listed in November last year, and ambitions that stretch well beyond stock broking.

Having steered the startup to a blockbuster IPO in just under a decade, Keshre was picked as the Entrepreneur of the Year at The Economic Times Awards for Corporate Excellence jury for successfully overtaking legacy bank-backed brokerages and profitable fintechs that once dominated the space.
