Groww Early Investors to Sell 4.3% Stake in Rs 4,750 Crore Block Deal

Early investors in Groww, including Peak XV, Sequoia Capital, Ribbit Capital, and Y Combinator, plan to sell approximately 4.3% of the company's shares through a block deal valued at around Rs 4,750 crore. The transaction involves up to 268.4 million shares at a floor price of Rs 177 per share, representing an 8.5% discount to recent market prices. The sale coincides with the expiry of a six-month post-IPO lock-in period, enabling these investors to offload shares. Kotak Securities and JP Morgan India are advising on the deal, which may be upsized depending on demand.
