Groww Lock-In Expiry Unlocks Shares as Investors Launch Block Deal

Wealth-tech firm Groww faces a significant lock-in expiry on May 12, unlocking around 400 crore shares, about 65% of pre-IPO holdings, valued near Rs 80,000 crore. Promoters hold roughly 7% of these shares, which are unlikely to be sold. Concurrently, investors Peak XV, Y Combinator, and Ribbit Capital plan a block deal to sell approximately 4.3% stake at a floor price of Rs 177 per share. Kotak Mahindra Capital and JP Morgan advise the transaction amid expectations of increased stock volatility.
