Groww Review (2026): Brokerage, Platforms, API & Execution - The Published Facts
Groww is a Bengaluru-based investment platform that grew from mutual-fund distribution into full-service discount broking. Published NSE active-client data has placed it at or near the top of Indian brokers by user count. Its focus is simplicity for first-time investors rather than professional trading tooling. On execution speed, Groww states on its own site that the platform now supports “sub-50ms order latency” - a self-reported figure with no published percentile or methodology, which we show as self-reported rather than independently audited.
