Building a Full-Stack Investment Ecosystem: StockGro Secures $13M Series B1 to Fuel Global Ambitions
What is the news?
StockGro, the social investment and stock market advisory platform that has redefined financial literacy for millions, has announced a successful $13 million Series B1 funding round led by the global investment firm BITKRAFT Ventures. Founded in 2020 by Ajay Lakhotia, a former venture capitalist and ISB alumnus, StockGro has navigated the explosive growth of India’s retail participation in capital markets, which has seen demat accounts grow fivefold to over 20 crore by late 2025.
Why is it interesting?
The fresh infusion of capital will be used to accelerate the company’s geographic expansion and to significantly enhance its AI-driven research capabilities. A key highlight of this expansion is the further development of “Stoxo,” an AI research assistant designed to provide retail investors with institutional-grade insights. By blending community-led discussions with advanced machine learning, StockGro is positioning itself as more than just a trading tool—it is a comprehensive knowledge hub.
This latest round reinforces the “Global Indian Alpha” narrative, showcasing how Indian startups are leveraging deep-tech and community-driven models to solve complex financial challenges. As StockGro scales its presence across multiple asset classes and international markets, it remains a lighthouse for Indian origin founders building world-class technology for the global stage.
