Groww has infused ₹104.4 crore into Fisdom via a rights issue, according to the company’s recent filing.
- The infusion comes shortly after Groww’s acquisition of Fisdom — completed in October 2025 — in an all-cash deal valued at around $150 million (roughly ₹1,200–1,250 crore) for full ownership.
- As per the share‐purchase agreement signed earlier in May, Groww had committed to provide additional capital to meet certain payout obligations and working-capital needs for Fisdom.
🔎 Why the Move — Strategic Shift in Business Model
Groww is re-orienting itself from a pure brokerage and retail-investment platform toward a broader wealth-management and wealth-tech ecosystem. Fisdom — which offers mutual funds distribution, insurance, PMS (portfolio management services), alternative investments, stock-broking and advisory services — plays a central role in this strategy.
Key motivations behind the cash infusion:
- Diversification away from derivatives-heavy revenue: With increased regulatory scrutiny on derivatives trading (which earlier contributed a large share of Groww’s revenue), wealth-management and advisory services are seen as more stable, long-term revenue sources
- Serving rising affluent and HNI customer base: Groww expects growing demand for wealth-management services among affluent users with higher assets — a segment where Fisdom’s services align well. YourStory.com
- Building a full-stack wealth platform: The infusion will help expand Fisdom’s product suite, strengthen working capital, and support payouts, enabling Roll-out of comprehensive financial products under Groww’s brand.
