Groww IPO revs up wealthtech deals; Lovable’s founder on vibe coding
Groww's IPO just became the wealthtech sector's biggest validation ceremony, and suddenly every investor with a spreadsheet and dreams is treating it like a golden ticket to the future. The platform's successful listing (completed November 12, 2025, just one day ago) has triggered a cascade of funding deals across the wealth-tech space, proving that investors aren't just betting on one fintech darling—they're betting the entire sector has finally cracked the code on monetization and scale.[1][4]
Groww, founded in 2016, disrupted investment accessibility by allowing users to invest in mutual funds, stocks, ETFs, and fixed deposits through a fully digital, paperless platform designed for first-time investors.[1] The IPO's momentum extends beyond mere stock appreciation; it's energizing adjacent sectors like AI-assisted coding, where companies like Lovable are raising massive rounds (Lovable secured $200 million in July 2025 at a $1.8 billion valuation) by democratizing software development itself, allowing non-coders to describe ideas and watch working software materialize within minutes.[2] This interconnected wave of capital, fueled by Groww's market validation, signals that wealthtech and adjacent fintech innovations are entering a new phase of institutional confidence and venture investment.
