Wealth-tech startup StockGro has raised ₹50 crore in debt funding to strengthen its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and expand its platform.
The Bengaluru-based company, known for its stock market learning and trading simulation platform, plans to use the fresh capital to build new AI-driven features, improve user experience, and scale its technology infrastructure.
Founded in 2020 by Ajay Lakhotia, StockGro has quickly grown into one of India’s most popular social investing platforms, offering virtual trading competitions, educational resources, and community-driven market insights.
The latest debt round signals strong investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory, especially as AI-driven financial tools are gaining traction in India’s fast-growing fintech ecosystem.
StockGro aims to deepen its user engagement by introducing personalised recommendations, AI-powered learning modules, and advanced trading simulations. The company is also focusing on partnerships with financial institutions to bring more services under its platform.
